Banks are a slightly different entity... It wasn't long ago when bank employees were actually required to take at least 2 weeks straight off once a year. Of course, this wasn't for the employee's health, rather it gave the bank time to catch any sort of embezzlement or other such activities the employee may have been up to. These days there are more controls and technology has ended some of common ways to try and hide bad transactions (such as sending checks to the wrong processing center or structuring transactions such that they'll take longer than they normally would). A lot of banks have removed this requirement now, but the culture of planning vacations remains in that industry.
