Denmark has 5 weeks (25 days) of paid vacation by law, and many companies offer a 6th week as benefits.
Pretty much everyone spends all their paid vacation. But you can even transfer one week of vacation to the next year if you want.
If the company for some reason doesn't allow a worker to take all their vacation, the worker can require an equivalent amount of money being paid out as wages.
If a worker decides to not make use of all their vacation, it is lost with no compensation. Pretty much everyone avoids wasting/losing vacation.
If you happen to get sick during a vacation you can even be compensated and get those vacation days back, to be spent at another opportunity.
