Weather Days

Here is a concept that I intend to implement when I run my own business: Weather Days. Not inclement weather days, just weather days. I envision them similar to the PTO (paid time off) system. Whereby you get say 4 "weather days" per year. Now, it's up to you if you want save them for bad weather in the winter, or use them on sunny, beautiful days!

Why should the bad weather earn you a day off?? If I have a 4-wheel vehicle or want to take the bus, I should be able to save my weather days for a day like today!

Annual hours over eight centuries

13th century Adult male peasant, U.K. 1620 hours
14th century Casual laborer, U.K. 1440 hours
Middle ages English worker 2309 hours
1400-1600 Farmer-miner, adult male, U.K. 1980 hours
1840 Average worker, U.K. 3105-3588 hours
1850 Average worker, U.S. 3150-3650 hours
1987 Average worker, U.S. 1949 hours
1988 Manufacturing workers, U.K. 1856 hours
2000 Average worker, Germany 1362 hours

I would be happy getting more than 4 extra days. America smokes pole when it comes to working. I'm just glad the unions actually had some power back in the early 20th century, Yay for communism.
