🔑 As a remote company, we strive to go beyond work-life balance and create work-life harmony. Rather than flashy "unlimited" time off policies that often go underutilized (and are actually illegal in some states), Givebutter strives to provide all employees with paid time off benefits that are inclusive and holistic.

Time Off Requests

As a rule of thumb, notify your manager as soon as you know you will need to take time off. At a minimum, follow the notice periods below.

• For sick days, bereavement, or personal emergencies, same-day notice is acceptable.
• For single-day time off requests, provide at least one week's notice.
• For multi-day time off requests, provide at least two weeks' notice.

Once approved...

• Submit a formal request in Justworks if you haven't already.
• Coordinate and communicate your time off with affected stakeholders as necessary.
• Consider how your time off may affect teammates and plan for it in advance as much as possible. Support your teammates when they need to do the same.
• During your time off, make sure to always set a Slack status and email autoresponder. See ‣ for an OOO (Out of Office) email template.
