As someone who works in traditional employment, the idea of paying a weekly £2 premium for the privilege of time off when sick, grieving, etc feels weird and almost wrong to me. Although, the concept is intriguing, especially when viewed from a traditional business's perspective; I wonder how much it would reduce feigned sick leave?
