Where I live taking all your days is mandatory, by law. The company gets punished if you don’t, so the HR guys actually remind you to do it. There is a small flexibility (you can take part of your days in next year Q1) but you cannot swap your days for money, nor ‘give them’ to another employee.
Did I mention we have 25 workdays of paid vacation, by the way? ;)
Where I work we're only allowed to roll five vacation days forward. Any days not taken above that are paid out at the end of fiscal from the budget of the director, so there is a rather firm rule against management declining vacation requests unless absolutely necessary. Come February, emails are generated every couple of weeks reminding managers to follow up up with employees who have more than a week remaining, so it's used by March 31.
Where I live you are legally allowed to take as many days as you want forward. But you are allowed to take all of them at once if you want to, so most companies force you (they are allowed to do that) to take your vacation within the year, since otherwise people bunch it up and then leave for half a year of paid leave.
There was a guy in the newspaper a while ago who never took vacation for decades and ended up taking all days before retirement to retire a few years earlier.
