The pandemic caused many changes in humanity, both in the way of living and in the different activities that are carried out on a daily basis. For example, in the labor aspect, teleworking increased the productivity of workers and this made it possible to implement new mechanisms, such as the discretionary time off policy. In this context, one of the companies that is now adhering to this method is the technology giant Microsoft.
The American multinational founded by Bill Gates informed its workers that they will be able to have unlimited breaks, as long as they coordinate with their respective work teams.
Likewise, they may have corporate vacations, permits, time off due to illness and mental health or death of a family member, according to the diffusion of internal mail of kathleen hoganchief of staff Microsoft.
“How, when and where we do our work has changed dramatically. And as we have transformed, modernizing our vacation policy towards a more flexible model was the next natural step”, reads the internal note.
In the case of workers who have pending vacations, they will be granted a payment as compensation during the first quarter of this year.
Along the same lines, the company reported that this measure will only be valid for salaried workers residing in the United States, since each country has its own policies.
