It should not only be mandatory for the employee; it should also be mandatory for the employer.

Lots of employers find ways to bully their employees into not taking time off. It should be, if your employees haven't taken their time by December 1, then they get that entire month off. If employers don't do a better job of freeing up their employees' schedules so they can take time off throughout the year, then they'll just have to deal with empty offices for an entire month. Most European employers already face that in August every year. American employers can learn to suck it up.

Keep in mind there are other countries that have this problem despite quasi-governmental guaranteed jobs programs. I have friend working in an Asian country at a corporate job and she gets a whopping 7 days vacation. She's been there for about 4 years.
