My knee-jerk reaction was 'ah, jeez - there's going to be a big percentage of lazy people just gaming the system'. But on reflection, as some other posters have already said, these folks would probably not being looking for work regardless - and if this helps the majority be more productive and happy... to me, it's worth a punt to see what happens.

Good on you Utrecht - I love the bold thinking. It might not work - but at least they tried something new to address one of our oldest problems!
