Unlike large corporate companies, startups give you the ability to create a flexible work environment for yourself and your employees. But how do you know when to draw the line, so that no one abuses the perks?

“Is having an unlimited vacation policy a good idea? Why or why not?”

It's definitely a tough question to answer. I would say, though, that I prefer a universal policy — one approach for everyone in the company. At the most basic level, it keeps the paperwork easier to manage.

Really interesting info covered in your post. I don't necessarily think that a unlimited vac policy is a good idea. I would base it on each individual employee and they're work performance.
