California Court of Appeal

Defendant's failure to apply its "vacation pay cash-out" policy to investigators on work-related disability leave violated neither Labor Code section 4850 nor the employees' equal protection rights. Application of the policy was exceptionally rare, and the investigators were not compelled to forfeit their excess vacation time.
