According to USA Today, some workplaces are giving employees a "summer Friday" perk.
A number of employers, aware of the fact that workers are daydreaming of being anywhere but at the office, let them take the day off or leave early on Friday afternoons in an effort to boost happiness in the workplace.
In a survey of more than 200 employers, about 42% of them were offering summer Fridays this year, according to a study from Gartner, a business and technology research company. That's up considerably from 2015, when about 22% of companies offered the perk, the survey found.
