Unlimited holiday leave, anyone??
Discussion
Besides jobs that require planned rotas/shift work, could this approach be applied to most workplaces?

I think that it is a great idea for companies and firms where there is a positive culture of getting the work done already and people who are motivated to provide good client service as a minimum, excellent as a rule.
In an environment where the workers take responsibility and pride in their job and getting things done this could work very well. For employees whose only interest in their job is the pay packet it could be a disaster.

I am sure this would go down well within the shop floor at my place of work! Not a chance that the company would still be in business after a few months!
Maybe it could be applied to some roles - but even then I don't think it would work. As a poster said before me, I could see some individuals never taking any holiday and others hardly turning up. Resentment would increase dramatically.
If an employee is able to leave early each night and take every Friday off work through the scheme, as a manager I would assume their workload was not great enough, thus I would potentially increase the workload and probably create some more issues. Some careful thought would be needed to maintain productivity......

I can see how it would work if you owned the business or indeed part of it. People will surely take the piss out of such a system though if they are "just" salaried ...
I take a day off here and there, take my son to school and even enjoy a relaxing coffee or two when time allows however I also sometimes work until 1am and at weekends. Will f/t staff do that?

You are expected to keep on top of things, which means you need to carry on working when you are on holiday if needed.
So, if you bugger of without telling anyone or handing over - then you can expect to have very little actual time of.
It's an interesting concept and could work in some situations, but the fact someone could take time of without any notice would make running projects quite difficult.

It all comes down to personal responsibility.... and as we have seen on many threads here on PH, when discussing about banks lending to vulnerable people, it's always the banks fault, not that of the borrower. In this case, the idea sounds great, but in reality there are so many people out there devoid of any personal responsibility that would take months off at a time and wonder why they came under fire when everything ground to a halt.
