Staff benifits of this kind are not new or unique.
I think we as archaeologist often forget how badly we can be treated in the commercial world.
I work for a company that gives all its staff flexi time. we can have two days a month off, if we have accumilated enough hours, and can carry two days over to the following month. Also all out of office work comes with either a hire car and petrol or a decent pence per mile car allowence, out of office money and over-night expensise, enough to cover single occupancy accomidation and a meal. Pension either employer and employee contribution or employee contribution.
This is not special or rare privalidge as there are many jobs out there that provide this to there staff, it just seems that archaeolocial contractors are to focused on undercutting each other that they do not provide these almost standard job entiltments to there staff, as they don't have enough resourses to implement these policys.
