My husband is a physician in private practice in the state of Florida. He employs approx. 10 full time employees. Can my husband tell his employees to take their vacations at the same time he takes his? For instance next month we are leaving for a week. I told him to tell his empoyees the office is closed for that week and they should take their vacations then. Thanks

Yes, this is known as a temporary shut-down and is fairly common in factories and other businesses. Many doctors and dentists do this. Ideally, they would let the employees know well in advance, so that the workers could make vacation plans as well. Many physicians also give their workers the option of taking the week unpaid, and using their paid vacation  at another time during the year. Technically, employers can require that workers use their vacation.
