Does Your Company Force You to Take Vacation Time? Here’s Why That’s Not a Bad Thing

Of the different benefits a company might offer, paid time off is among the most desired. And it makes sense: We all need time to recharge our batteries and tend to personal matters that can't necessarily be tackled on weekends.

But while it's one thing to offer employees paid time off, it's another to force them to use their vacation days by year's end. Yet that's what a growing number of companies are starting to do.

For some workers, it's a welcome change. Rather than feel like they're letting their employers down by taking the time they're entitled to, those who have no choice but to use their vacation days can do so without guilt. On the other hand, some workers don't like the idea of being forced to take a break -- whether it's because they have too much on their plates or would rather strategically bank their vacation days for future use.
