Yes, it is legal. Employers have discretion about when and under what circumstances an employee may use vacation or personal time, and are allowed to control staffing and workflow. They can require that an employee find coverage for his/her position or duties before letting them take a day off; the employer does not have to accept any disruption or lack of coverage.
