Work Sharing
Details of the Japan portion of my recent trip are coming, but I found this link today and thought that it'd be a good idea to get it circulating somewhat first.
The idea is called work sharing and it works like this: in tough times companies large and small can apply to have Canada's employment insurance program pay (all or or a portion of) an employee's salary for one day each week, the employee then takes that day off. It gives companies facing layoffs another option that allows them to retain talent while saving anywhere between 10% and 20% on salaries.
If you're interested, check out the details at Service Canada.
