They are just handing over the cash, I think. The only "condition" of the deal is that people aren't working, though I think Rule #1 (You MUST go on vacation!) is a bit vague. There's a slide later on that explicitly mentions the possibility of lousing around on the couch instead of doing anything special, so I don't think they literally mean that you have to go on vacation, just that you have to take the time off and not be at work. More like "Here's $7500 for not showing up to work for the next week," not "Here's $7500 that you can only use on a preselected and approved subset of suitably frivolous and relaxing activities". I'd be very against the latter, too.
