I'm just relaying what Alberta Employment Standards told me when I asked. Basically for a salaried employee there was no requirement to pay out vacation, rather the employer is simply required to force you to take your vacation. When asked "and if they don't?" the reply was "Well, they have to".
I wasn't exactly confident in the person I spoke with at AB Employment Standards after that answer, but interestingly I can't find any language covering the situation I talk about in the
employment standards code.
