([Anonymous,] "The Attack on Employee Services"...)

In granting bereavement leaves , specify the maximum time_off and list what the worker 's relation to the deceased must be to qualify .

Consider adopting a system of holidays in which time_off is granted with an eye to minimum inconvenience to the operation of the plant .

You might try providing standard vacation time_off but make the vacation pay depend_on the number of hours worked in the previous year .

(Jay Williams, The Forger....)

I kept saying , `` If I could just build_up a reputation for myself , make some real money , get_to be well_known as an illustrator - like Peter_Askington , for_instance - then I could take some time_off and paint '' .
