FullContact, a content management company, started giving employees $7,500 once a year for vacations back in 2012.
CEO Bart Lorang has said employees need to meet three criteria to get the money: They must go on vacation, disconnect, and not work while on the trip. The $7,500 stipend is on top of the 15 paid vacation days all employees are entitled to.
"In today's world of Email, iPhones, Androids, Twitter, Facebook and devices on our person 24×7, we're always connected," Lorang wrote. "It's not healthy."
