I liked the way my current employer dealt with this. When I was coming on, they mentioned that they had an unlimited vacation policy for exempt employees, but that non-exempt employees got 4 weeks a year as a benchmark to consider. The result is that a lot of people in our group seem to take vacations roughly as if they got 4 weeks of vacation a year but don't have to count it or worry about running over a bit. It also helps that there's a culture of actually taking substantive vacation and not working insane hours and such.
- cylinder 11y agoEveryone should get an explicit amount in their contract and they should be paid out if they leave / are fired with unused days. "Unlimited" is total nonsense.

I know people will moan about being "forced" to take time off but frankly it is good for you, and I'm sure people can find a way to keep busy if they really try.
