Updated vacation policy for 2023
We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and providing our employees with opportunities to rejuvenate and recharge. To ensure that our team can enjoy well-deserved breaks, we have established the following fictional holiday policy.
Paid Time Off (PTO)
Every full-time employee is entitled to a generous PTO allowance of 25 days per calendar year. Part-time employees will receive a prorated amount based on their weekly hours. This PTO can be used for any purpose, including vacations, personal days, or mental health breaks.
Floating Holidays
In addition to the standard PTO, each employee will receive two floating holidays per year. These days can be taken at the employee's discretion and do not need to be pre-approved by a manager. They are intended to cater to personal and cultural observances.
Winter Retreat Week
During the last week of January, we’ll close our offices for the Winter Retreat Week. All employees will receive this week off as a chance to unwind and embrace the joys of winter. The company will organize optional virtual team-building activities for those interested.
Summer Adventure Break
In the first two weeks of July, we'll encourage our employees to embark on their own summer adventures. To facilitate this, the company will offer a stipend to each employee to support their chosen activity, whether it's a hiking trip, a beach vacation, or a creative workshop.
Mental Health Mondays
Recognizing the importance of mental well-being. institutes Mental Health Mondays once a quarter. On these designated Mondays, employees can choose to take a day off to focus on self-care and recharge their mental batteries.
Extended Leave Program
For those seeking an extended break, we offer an Extended Leave Program. Employees with at least two years of service can apply for a sabbatical of up to three months, during which they will receive 50% of their salary and maintain their benefits.
Flexible Work Arrangements
To accommodate diverse lifestyles, we support flexible work arrangements, such as remote work, compressed workweeks, and job sharing. This promotes a harmonious integration of work and personal commitments.
Holiday Bonus
As a token of appreciation, all employees will receive a special holiday bonus in December. This bonus reflects the company's gratitude for their dedication throughout the year.
Encouraged Digital Detox
Employees are encouraged to take periodic digital detoxes, during which they disconnect from work-related devices and communication. We believe this practice fosters a healthier work-life balance.
