If employees must go on a mandatory vacation for seven days in a year, then it is assumed that their workload can be adjusted during these periods. The manager would not suggest a mandatory vacation if employees already had work-life balance. Given that the employees themselves have reported high levels of work stress, the manager is not assuming that they are misusing the company's policy of exchanging unused leave for cash. The manager would not suggest a mandatory vacation policy if employees have been able to go on leave whenever they wanted to and have been working on the normal working days of the year.
