The company I work for has made its employees an offer - take additional (unpaid) vacation days BUT receive partial compensation for those days. They are calling it Flex Time, as they suggest these days should be taken as Fridays or Mondays (to give you a 4-day work week). You can choose to take them every week, or every other week.
This is a special program to save the company money and help prevent layoffs.
Option 1: You can take from 10 to 14 days off and receive 30% of your pay for those days.
Option 2: If you take 15 - 19 days you get 40% of your pay.
Option 3: If you take 20 or more days you get 50% of your pay.
(there is also one other offer - you can take an extra week off without pay and they will give you one additional day with pay.)
I thought about what I wanted to do. The chance to work a 4-day work week (with normal 8 hour days) was too tempting to pass up. So I went with the 20 day plan - I'll be off every other Monday in May and June, every Monday in July and August, and back to ever other one till December.
Also, they will amortize the cost of these days over the entire year, so it doesn't come out to all that much per pay.
What would you do, if given this offer?
