Vacation Destination Ban By Company - Corona Related

So my company is going in a different direction. Of course everyone is required to go in, but I had a question on their new vacation policy.
They are banning personal vacation to all “hotspot areas”, which includes all major airports and multiple states (Washington, California, Colorado, Florida, New York, etc.)
If you choose to go on your vacation, you are required to quarantine at home for 14, unpaid days, when you get back. Even if you show no symptoms. They implemented this today, with spring break next week.
Is this even legal? This company is one of the worst I’ve ever worked for, but this seems way overstepping.

it is vastly overkill, but unfortunately they can do what they want.

Not sure that is true.

Just go to Florida anyway baw and tell them you were at the Beau Rivage.

Private companies can do as these please regarding vacation policies. Seems a bit much but doubt they will be the only company to move this direction.

Out of line.
What if you have a family emergency in one of these so called hot spots?
I'm under no obligation to tell my company what I do on my own time

They can't ban you from going somewhere.
I would take my vacation NOW. Two weeks plus their unpaid two weeks.
My arse is headed to Costa Rica for a month.

This seems real simple.
Go on vacation. Get off of facebook queer, and tell you wife to get off of it too.
Come back from vacation.
When asked where you went, say we decided to stay home and relax.
Don't make this harder than it has to be. TWSS

How do they know where you travel? They checking your credit card statements or something?

Just as it’s your right to do as you please with vacation destinations it’s their right to fire you if you don’t go by their guidelines. Unless there is some sort of discrimination going on as to who has to follow the guidelines

It's none of their business as to where you go, especially if staying domestic.

I don't see how in the hell they could possibly know where you go. Unless you tell them. Then that's on you.

I would definitely update my resume and find a new company. I could understand if this was for a combat-ready unit in a theater of war, but not your typical company. My guess is someone at the top has an extremely bloated sense of self-importance.

Everyone I’ve talked to who works at a big company has said this is the case

Tracking by company phone?
Tracking by company apps installed on personal phone?
Checking VPN logs?
If they want to, they can find out where you have been.

Not on Facebook and it won’t affect me.
But a few of the others have touched on what am I asking. Spring break is next week, if I had ANY travel plans that involved an airport I have 2 choices: cancel my plans the day most people would be leaving, or lose a paycheck. That seems to be crossing some sort of boundary on how a company can control/dictate what I do on my time off.
We have to submit for vacay. Anyone that is traveling over the next month received an email on their travel plans. If you are found to have lied about the travel plans you will be disciplined, up to firing.

From a list of Q&As that my firm is putting together:
***
"Can an employer restrict an employee’s travel to a particular region or territory? If business-related, yes a restriction is appropriate and completely legal. If for personal travel, then an employer can warn an employee ahead of time that he or she will be quarantined upon return for a specified period of time. Given employment-at-will, an employer could tell employees not to travel at all---or else. As long as the rule is evenly applied, an employer has the right to make that a condition of continued employment. An employer can also deny time away from work (i.e. personal vacation) based upon “business necessity” or a “business decision.”
***
That said, I've not seen this approach taken with any domestic locations (only international). It's a fluid situation however and once more testing is done I suspect US cities or states will be labeled "no go." Coworker in the next office is returning from France Monday and will be in 2-week self- quarantine per company policy.

When I got back to work after my vacation and they asked me where I’d gone, I’d tell them that the answer to that question* will cost them four more weeks of vacation time for me.
*The correct answer might cost them even more.
