Federal law for vacations requires that:

Federal law for vacations requires that:

• A. No minimum vacation is required.
• B. 2 weeks paid vacation
• C. 2 weeks unpaid vacation
• D. 10 paid holidays and 2 weeks of paid vacation

Answer: (A)

Federal law does not require any minimum vacation time for employees. The main federal statutes address wages and hours, not vacation benefits. The Fair Labor Standards Act sets minimum wage and overtime rules, while the Family and Medical Leave Act provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for qualifying reasons, not paid vacation. Because vacation policies are determined by employer policy, contracts, and sometimes state or local laws, there is no federal mandate for a specific amount of vacation—paid or unpaid. So the statement that no minimum vacation is required is correct. The other scenarios suggest federal-required amounts or paid vacation, which federal law does not mandate; they may be offered by employers, but they’re not required by federal rules.
