We’ve all had our hearts broken at one point in our lives, but we sure wouldn’t get paid time off to heal--unless we worked for Hime and Co. They are a Japanese firm in the U.K. that offers this benefit to their employees. The firm says it doesn’t matter if you are the dumper or the dumpee, you can have time off with pay to cry your eyes out (or get a tattoo). Staff aged 24 or younger can take one day off a year, those between 25 and 29 two days off and those older than 29 get three days off. The company also offers two mornings a year for “sales shopping.”
 "Women in their twenties can find their next love quickly, but it's tougher for women in their thirties, and their break-ups tend to be more serious," Ms Hiradate said.
The policy is laid out on the company website, http://www.himeclub.com: "Many companies have maternity leave and claim they are kind to women because of this… People may take sick leave, yet not for heartache. But people would find it harder to be at work in such a situation, making simple mistakes, doing strange things."
