If time and money are really fungible try asking your employer for more holiday. I suspect many will not even enter into this kind of discussion.
Just want to clarify my point: in theory I agree that there is likely to be some substituability between the two, but in practice I haven't seen employers do this.
- webXL 13y agoThe high costs of hiring and nature of specialization in certain industries makes it impractical to let employees determine how much time they will work each year. Now, if a new position opens up at a company and the fixed costs of bringing on new employees turns out to be low, and there are two equally qualified candidates who would like to split time with each other, then there's little reason why the employer shouldn't take them both on. But getting back to the point, doesn't it make sense for the employer to pay these two employees the full amount for the time they are actually working, rather than paying them half for when they work, and half for vacation/time off?
