Many organizations require an employee to take a mandatory vacation (holiday) of a week or more
to:

A.
ensure the employee maintains a good quality of life, which will lead to greater productivity.

B.
reduce the opportunity for an employee to commit an improper or illegal act.

C.
provide proper cross-training for another employee.

D.
eliminate the potential disruption caused when an employee takes vacation one day at a time.

Explanation:
Required vacations/holidays of a week or more in duration in which someone other than the regular
employee performs the job function is often mandatory for sensitive positions, as this reduces the
opportunity to commit improper or illegal acts. During this time it may be possible to discover any
fraudulent activity that was taking place. Choices A, C and D could all be organizational benefits
from a mandatory vacation policy, but they are not the reason why the policy is established.
