DETROIT -- Chrysler is telling employees worldwide to take a mandatory two-week vacation in July.
Chrysler informed employees of the plan in an e-mail sent to employees that was obtained by The Associated Press.
Chrysler plans a corporate-wide shutdown the weeks of July 7 and July 14. A company spokesman said some employees may be asked to stay on to work on special projects.
It's common for automakers to shut down plants in July, but this also would affect salaried workers.
Chrysler says the shutdown should help it boost productivity and efficiency.
