peer agreement (net): +1rethink sentence Explanation: Sounds like "abono" and "compensacao" are different; absence will neither be allowed nor will it be possible to make up for absences, nor will permission be given for non-attendance. If abono and compensacao are the same thing, perhaps a single word will do. Bottom line: don't feel bound to the Portuguese construction but feel free to rephrase the whole sentence. |

normal payment for days off Explanation: We do not have 'abono' in English because people take 'leave of absence' or they take days off their holidays, I think. Also, people usually miss work and nobody cares, what means that they get paid anyway. I think nobody would ask them to pay for a day in which they did not attend if they really had not attended. |
