I have worked at more than one institution which requires grant employees
to take vacation during the grant period. In at least one case, human
resources amended the offer letter to reflect the College's expectation
that grant employee would use vacation time during the award. Employees
who signed the offer agreement acknowledged this restriction.  The project
directors were also alerted and encouraged employees to take vacation
throughout the project period. However, If you are dealing with collective
bargaining at your institution, this may pose a number of other issues.
