What if, rather than scrimping and saving and planning to get the most out of your holiday allowance, you could simply book as much time off as you liked?
The good news is that there are places out there where this isn't a dream - and might even help the companies offering it (as well as their staff).
"Unlimited time-off can play a massive part in recruiting and retaining top talent. Allowing employees to recharge at their own pace, without having to meticulously count their annual leave days," jobs site Glassdoor explained.
"Perhaps it could even result in more productive employees."
