When I owned a retail business I had about 40 employees. We paid for a weeks vacation every six months. Employees with over 5 years got an extra week. Pretty much the norm at the time.
We also had a vacation calendar, weeks colored red were busy, no vacations allowed.
Weeks colored yellow were regular vacations. Weeks colored green paid a 50% cash bonus. Our way of encouraging vacations during the least busy times of the year.
Vacation time was mandatory.
