So whats the cost to the company of doing this? Are their no other BED employees available, who in a tight economy, understand the gap between I want and what is practical?
Going down this road is dangerous. If you must you must but I would caution against doing it simply because a couple of BD people want it. I am certain you have other professionals who work extra hours and/or travel that will ask the same. You could easily be creating a bigger morale problem than you think you have now. Perhaops the head of Bd can work something out with these individuals outside of a new policy. |

If BD is critical in this economy, I don't see how giving comp time helps unless the travel time is so extreme.
I would simply leave allocation of comp time up to whomever heads up the BD department. Creating a policy can lead to a sense of entitlement and, if not done right, contribute to elimination of exempt status of these employees. |

Well, I will take it from the other side. Especially if the travel is overseas and/or for long periods of time and the performance of these employees is where it needs to be.
While we all are having to work harder and smarter and possibly longer, I would suggest allowing these employees to (1) travel on a work day rather than on weekend time if possible and (2) if not, be given some type of time off when returning from travel that has lasted more than 2 weeks or so... Maybe my perspective is skewed by a husband who travelled a lot (not for BD) and every employer he has had was able to understand that travel time on the front and back end of trips needed some "down" time. |
