"  If you utilize ALL leaves / vacations , you are less likely to be promoted ! "

Employee Perspective : " Leave is my right ! My entitlement ! If organization provides 20 leaves per year , it's well within my right to utilize all of them. "

Organization's perspective : Number of leaves granted per year is the MAXIMUM that an employee can use , considering all possible emergencies and health problems . But it does not mean that every one  should use ALL the leaves / vacations they are granted !

Research Finding :
According to one study, 13% of managers are less likely to promote workers who take ALL of their vacation time; according to another study ,  employees who take less than their full vacations earn 2.8% more in the subsequent year than their peers who took all of their allotted days, reports the Wall Street Journal.

 15% of  employees who are entitled to paid vacation - time haven’t used  it fully in the past year.
