If a company closes from Christmas until New Years every year can they force exempt or non exempt employees to use vacation days for their shceduled work days or take the time off without pay?

Now, taking the holidays into consideration. Company recognizes and pays its employees, say for example, 9 holidays per year, two of which are Christmas and New Years. Company has shutdown from Christmas through New Years. Employees would receive two paid holidays during the shutdown period in their paycheck. If the employee wants a full paycheck then the remaining days would need to be covered through PTO.
Also, another thing to be careful of. Some employees who don't have time to cover their absence (mostly non-exempt) could go apply for unemployment if they don't get paid something during this period. You may want to check with your state labor dept. on this.
