McDonalds: family members can swap shifts without notice

McDonalds in the UK will let any two family members who work at the same branch swap shifts without notice:

"By giving our employees the freedom to manage their shift commitments, we will increase their motivation and enjoyment of work," said David Fairhurst, the chain's vice president (people).
McDonald's said the first users of the new "Family Contract," which it believes to be unique in Britain, were two sets of twins.
