I've done this before after accumulating several years worth of leave due to a previous employer having strange ideas about project management and the mythical man-month.

I suppose I was kind of pressured into it, but I also liked having a pseudo-bonus that year.

They used to allow this in Australia, but they canned it a few years ago because they became concerned that people were accumulating leave rather than taking it. They said it was for out mental well-being... so get ready for that

From memory, I believe one government increased legal minimum annual leave from 3 to 4 weeks, then the following government changed it so you still got the 4th week but you could cash it in on agreement with your employer. So you can't cash it all in, just 1/4 per year.
