It is time for us all to take a vacation together. The beaches are beautiful this time of the year. Remember our last vacation? Let’s go!
Yes, we are going on a vacation. So, you can be the next to come to the office in a full body tan. Like, “Sanket Naik took a six-week trip last year to Thailand and India to see his family, but he didn’t…”
How many days off at your job are available to you? Why are you even keeping count?
Well, think about your PRECIOUS allotted vacation time. Go ask your boss. You need to plan ahead of time in order to take some days off from work. You have to ask yourself several quick questions that pertain to the smart use of your “unwell time”. Will you need it, or won’t you need it?
Wow, just imagine… Thoughts of summer vacations inspire visions of roasting marshmallows, tasteless T-shirts, and campfire sing-alongs. LOL. Remember Pamela Voorhees (Palmer) and her son at Crystal Lake. (http://m.complex.com/pop-culture/2012/06/the-25-best-summer-vacation-movies/friday-the-13th)
Corporate settings are adopting the notion to give employees unlimited days off. Flexibility. Keeping count of your sick days is an old concept. Welcome to the world of “unlimited”. Now, you can take you bike for a spin, take your girl out to Starbuck’s, and get her really wired up.
Unlimited vacation days at any job could change work output, no matter what a job consists of. Think again.
Naik, senior director of cloud operations at Coupa said, “There’s the flexibility to travel or fulfill personal commitments without violating HR policies. Coupa is one of a handful of companies, including The Ladders and Netflix, which have decided to offer the perk to employees. Being a member of the unlimited vacation plan, you will still be held accountable for you responsibilities. Angela Romano Kuo, vice president of human resources for the company. “Our salaried employees aren’t given a bank of vacation days; they take what they need,” she said. “If there’s a long weekend or a longer vacation that they want to take, they simply need to get their manager’s approval for the specific time off. Managers will ask the requesting employee for a plan of what will happen to his or her work during the absence, and if they’re confident that the workload will be covered, the request is approved, which it almost always is.”In the end, she said, “Our employees are responsible for the quality of their work, responsible for the hours they work, so they should also be responsible for the amount of vacation time they use.” (http://lifeinc.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/19/12813563-latest-work-perk-unlimited-vacations?lite)
1. Your vacation time is unlimited.
1. Your vacation time is unlimited.
2. Write it all off.
The trip is primarily for business purposes. Those few days of pleasure will stay in Vegas; deducted it. Safe!
Unlimited vacation time should be at every job. Mobility is normal. With laptops, phones, and other devices the office is anywhere you want it to be.
“What Is Considered Tax Deductible?”
“What Is Considered Tax Deductible?”
Tax deductible: airfare, lodging such as hotel stays, meals, entertainment, conferences, seminars, workshops, etc. Let me reiterate, be sure to include transportation costs: airfare, train tickets, car rental, taxi rides, personal car, mileage at 50 cents a mile, etc. Lodging costs, too.

So, it is time for us all to take a vacation together. The beaches are always beautiful at this time of the year. Last year your vacation was awesome.
Vacation time might still be precious to you, though. Just put it away, keep it hidden, and never speak of it. No one knows, do they?
