I'm actually required to, oddly enough. Well, nobody will stop me from working during the holiday if I want, but I have to file one and at least officially be "on vacation", for one contiguous 3-week period every summer (defined as between March 1 and September 30). Unless I get a manager's approval in writing that special circumstances justify skipping the vacation this year.
(A financial reason is that the company doesn't want unused vacation accruing on their books, because it represents a liability that in some circumstances can be cashed out. A non-financial reason is that having a high % of employees who don't take a proper summer holiday can lead to quality-of-workplace statistics that look poor.)
- njitguy 12y agoAccording to the Security+ exam, and I suppose other security recommendations, is that it's a good idea to have mandatory vacations. It apparently can help detect fraud and other issues.
- eli 12y agoI think it was RAND Corp that has financial penalties if you don't use a minimum number of vacation days a year.
- herge 12y agoBanks will usually force their employees to take full weeks of vacation. That way, if an employee is skimming off the books a regular amount each week, they will notice that on the week the employee isn't present.
