This will have “seasonal cycles” obviously and should not be used to penalize departments. If a department has longer service employees because they do a great job of maintaining loyalty/treating employees fairly, then those employees will be eligible for more vacation probably. So this has to be balanced against length of service as well.
I created a “burn out ratio” which is the number of employees (percent) that are near or at max for their vacation balances.

I’m not disagreeing with you. But, be careful when assuming long-service employees have had all of their long service in one department. In my company, we have many long-term employees but they bounce around a lot. To measure how well a department is managing their staff, it takes several measurements. I’d look at things like exit interviews, internal mobility stats, grievance/claim ratios, turnover ratios, vacation utilization, etc.

Take good care!
