Can someone forgo their vacation time?

Yes, with approval from the organization’s HR department only.

No, vacation time cannot be forgone.

Yes, only with approval from the Ministry of Labour and the employer.

Vacation time is a protected entitlement under employment standards, and you can’t simply give it up on a whim. The only legitimate way to forgo vacation is through a formal arrangement that has both the employer’s consent and approval from the Ministry of Labour. This ensures the arrangement complies with minimum vacation rights and is properly documented. Verbal consent or approval from only the HR department doesn’t meet the legal safeguards, and government involvement helps guard against coercion or erosion of entitlements.

Yes, anytime with verbal consent.
