A company in the U.K. is rewarding staff who donât smoke at work with something everyone wants - more time off. KCJ Training and Employment is now offering non-smokers four extra vacation days a year.
Managing directorDon Bryden- whoâs a smoker himself - came up with the idea and says itâs been embraced by both smokers and non-smokers. Heâs not trying to penalize smokers for taking a cigarette break, but heâs adding up all the time they spend outside smoking in a year and giving some of that time to non-smokers with extra days off.
"I'll work with the people who smoke,â Bryden says, âbut I do want to make sure that the ones who are sitting there working while the others take their ciggie break get some sort of compensation."
