Does anyone have a policy that stipulates the employee cannot use vacation or etc. during the time between their resignation notice and the resignation date? Or can you just say "no" you can't use the time for vacation without a policy?

It is legal in South Carolina to do this as long as you have a policy stating this fact and it has been communicated to employees.

Above is the policy I used at my previous company. We used the words 10 working days specifically to indicate that if the employee has vacation or holiday scheduled they had to extend their notice by that many days.
