Global luxury travel retailer DFS Group is offering its Macau employees access to an unpaid leave program this summer in an effort to reduce costs as economic uncertainties persist.
The program is “voluntary” and a “result of meticulous consideration of different schemes,” which allows full-time employees to take six unpaid days off between July and August, as cited in a report by Allin News. The retailer, which operates duty-free shops worldwide, cited global uncertainties as contributing to the decision. A current DFS employee, speaking anonymously due to company policy, said the new leave policy has nonetheless caused apprehension among coworkers.
