Unlimited Holidays Offered by US Firm

In a dream announcement, an American firm has announced its decision to offer unlimited time-off to its staff from January 1.

The web-based event planning company WeddingWire, based in Bethesda, Maryland, employs 98 people and currently gives new employees 16 days of paid leave.

Tough for Most Employees to Get Work Done During Holidays
A new survey has found that it may be tough for more than 50% of US employees to get work done between Christmas and New Year's Eve.

"We just want you to do your job," the Daily Mail quoted Jennifer Harding, director of human resources at WeddingWire as telling The Washington Post.

"If you can do that, why limit the amount of vacation you can take?"

The company asserted that the procedure for requesting time off would work exactly the same as it always has done - employees will send requests for holiday time to their managers for approval.

The firm also insisted that the policy makes sense as it is mostly driven by sales targets and deadlines.

"If you've met your sales goal by the middle of the month, I have no place as a manager to keep you from taking the rest of the month off," Chris Chi, associate director of sales said.
