My manager has never asked me to do overtime, although I think we have a similar arrangement.
However, sometimes I work late, particularly if I have no plans for the evenings, the office is quiet, and I'm busy concentrating on something. I leave early later that week, or if there are enough hours (like if the weather is really bad), take an afternoon or day.
I'm not sure what would happen if I didn't take my holiday. I think nothing, so long as I've taken the legal minimum (20 days in the UK, though I get 32).
