Microsoft is to allow US staff to take unlimited time off in a policy change that is supposed to give them more flexibility but, unsurprisingly, will also have a cost benefit to Redmond.<\/p>\n

“How, when, and where we do our jobs has dramatically changed,” wrote Kathleen Hogan, chief people officer at Microsoft in a memo to staff, reported first by The Verge<\/a>. “And as we’ve transformed, modernizing our vacation policy to a more flexible model was a natural next step.”<\/p>\n

Starting next week, the company is saying goodbye to its four-weeks-a-year policy for US-based salaried employees. Workers will be given 10 days of corporate holidays, alongside unlimited leave. They will also be allowed leave for sickness, mental health issues, bereavement and jury services.<\/p>\n
