I don't know, maybe I am over simplifying it.
We have employees who do. Some of them work the winters in Alberta and go home to farm/fish/whatever. Funny thing is though that a lot of them will ask if they can be laid off before they go home. We won't lay them off, but they always seem shocked when we say no.
