Some employers want to be able to contact their staff at all times, even on holidays.

Being available on

holidays

is naturally required for workers in some special professions, but

this

idea is

also

attractive for most

company

owners. Personally, I think that any point has advantages and disadvantages, so depending on the conditions, if employees are available during

holidays

then

this

may provide advantages for both sides. For sure it’s a huge benefit for employers to be able to contacts their staff on

holidays

because it leads to more efficient solving urgent questions. In

this

case, all

company

processes are well monitored and supplied. Same

time

this

looks like an extra load for employees (more working hours, less family

time

), so not each worker will agree to

this

generally. On other hand keeping workers available during

holidays

for sure will cost more and sometimes even a lot which is a disadvantage for a

company

but

also

a bonus for employees. Due to these contradictions, it’s truly required to find a proper way to motivate people with some rewards, like extra vacations or

company

shares, in exchange for their weekends. Some business owners mastered their diplomatic and negotiation skills in that extent, that can make proper undeclinable offers in all kind of situations. Despite working on holiday may be very well compensated it’s important to have work/rest balance in your

life

and after all, your

life

's

time

is priceless.

This

idea is very well reflected in the slogan “work for

life

, not a

life

for work”. So

nevertheless

potential benefits from extra work

time

with encreased payments may be attractive, but for sure there is should be enough

time

for rest and self-development.
