It's absolutely their right. I'm not suggesting there be any new laws about this sort of thing. I still, however, think it is irresponsible. It is their risk to take. I'd imagine they would lose many clients. Maybe this is just me. Idk. I know no one who has taken extended vacations of this category from their job even if they had the leave to do so.
I actually don't think it would be acceptable in America, depending on your definition of acceptable. If you told people you were taking 3 months off for vacation, a lot of them would give you strange looks. It would seem unfathomable to them. They would ask questions. Many would be jealous because it is just not something that is done outside of medical reasons.
