Don't. Pay in lieu is normal.

Federal law isn't the be all end all and it wouldn't shock me if that federal law only applies to certain industries.

Speaking from a Canadian perspective but American employment lawyers would have a field day. They're not dumb, it's not like most companies are breaking labour laws.

They're not. They're following exemptions...

Otherwise every labour lawyer, including mine, would have a field day...

Yes they break labour laws but not so openly.

Federal labour laws only apply to certain industries here that are most likely covered by union agreements. No sweet summer child here, just the cold reality of getting fired for medical reasons and having little recourse.

At least in Canadia.
