A big American company with over 100,000 employee's is thinking of asking each employee to take 1 weeks unpaid holiday which if done will result in the company not having to let anyone go this year.
If public sector workers took 1 week holiday unpaid, and there are over 400,000 of them, average wage is around 47K(Gross 900 Euro a week) ( I can't believe that) , would result in savings of 280 Million or so.With tax,PSRI etc not to sure of exact amount,
You might say what about service's and they are effected but they don't seem that effected when they go sick which on average is more than the national sick in the private sector which runs at around 8 days a year. ( of course it is higher they always get paid for been sick)
Even if they did not take unpaid holiday's maybe they would accept only to get paid for a maximum of 3 days in a year, just say for the rest of this year even.
Many jobs in the private sector don't pay sick days at all.
