HP offers EDS staff unpaid leave, cuts in hours

Thumb Up

Excellent Idea - all companies should consider this

I think this is an excellent idea. I would love it if companies allowed more perm staff to reduce their working time for a reduction in pay.

Some younger staff would use the time for education, travel, [applying for better jobs], spending time with family etc. etc.

One of the disadvantages of perm work over contract is that fact that you have to limit time off so much.
