They give their employees 28 days off, which is quite generous. I don't know many people that get than many days off. If employees wish, they can trade up to 5 days for the equivalent salary, which is used to give them money for their student loans, or their children's. It's a creative offer, and one that doesn't force people to forego vacation, as they'd still have more than four weeks of time to take off. In the US, most people don't take their entire vacation allowance when it's over two weeks. This gives them a chance to pay down some debt with minimal impact on their work life balance. At least, minimal for me. I struggle to take my 25 days, so this is a trade I'd make. Read the rest of A Good Benefit
