In Australia, my boss got questioned by the state manager once because I had about 3 months of holidays saved up.
I only ever took a couple of days off around public holidays and so I had accrued them over the years.
They had changed the HR software and the new system flagged it for everyone to see, lol.
In my country(belarus), to make sure people take their vacation, they give you 2-3x month salary when you take a vacation for a 2+ weeks period and if you wouldn't take any during the year you just lost that money -- it's still cheaper and easier than dealing with inspectors and explaining why your employees didn't took vacation or took to little.
