Interestingly, in the UK, managers are also liable for health and safety to some extent. So if you get burned out because you haven't taken any holiday for the last 3 years, your manager has to be able to say "I made him aware he had holiday left and encouraged him to take it" or something along those lines, otherwise they/the company is also on the hook (possibly).
