Swiss vacations about to increase?
It looks like the Swiss won't have to worry about how to look busy while they're on vacation. If a referendum by Swiss citizens passes, the current standard of four vacation weeks a year may increase by 50 percent. The measure was good enough to pick up 125,000 signatures, but it still has a long way to go.
The group behind the referendum, Travail.Suisse, cites increased stress in the workplace as driving the increased vacation need. People are working harder, and they just need a bit more of a break. Well-rested workers are happier and more productive.
A date for the vote hasn't been set yet.
So, if you're Swiss and you need a few ideas on where to take your extra two weeks of vacation, come back to Gadling often. We don't take vacations.
