A lot of our customers close down over the holiday, and if we don't have billable work, we're suppose to take the time off, you can take vac and get paid, or not and don't.

I don't know for sure how the big 3 or other companies work it out, but the company I worked for figured it in as part of your total compensation package. I have rarely worked in an industry where there was jack shit to do during that period of time. As PC pointed out, a lot of people are on vaca anyway.
