Because it is only for four weeks. There is little chance of maintained productivity (I didn't say improved), if they are no longer employed, is there.

Indeed. As I have experience of the extra needs for families I am always mindful of my employees' requirements. I have extensive "family friendly" policies in place, which include family sick leave, paternity leave and re-location leave. Yes, I do lose a few days of work from the workforce, but I do seem to have a lot fewer days lost to sickness, for example, than my contemporaries. |
