We offer generous, flexible policies for leave so team members can prioritize the wellness and happiness of them and their families.

The guidance below is fairly high-level, and gives ample room for interpretation based on individual priorities and needs. That said, everyone is also expected to utilize these policies in good faith, and do right by their team.

Flexible Paid Time Off

Our policy of flexible, unmetered paid time off is intended to provide employees the ability to spend time away from work without worrying about accrued days or penalties.

While sometimes referred to as "unlimited time off", there are some norms and guidance to keep in mind:

• Use it! A common failure mode of "unlimited PTO" is people not actually taking advantage of it. We can't force you to do anything, but know that you're encouraged to take time off where and when you want. If you don't feel like you can, please talk to your manager and they will make it work.
• Team members do not need to seek permission for time off, unless the intended time away exceeds 14 consecutive calendar days (including weekends and holidays). However, team members are asked to give at least 2 weeks heads-up before a trip where possible.
• In the event of a PTO request for longer than 14 days, please plan to notify your manager at least 30 days in advance. Depending on length and circumstances, a conversation about taking a leave of absence might make sense.
• It is your responsibility to minimize disruption from OOO. If you're missing a critical meeting, make sure you have a plan with your manager about how to make up the content or otherwise address the function of the meeting while out (e.g. work with your manager on your sprint plan ahead of time).

Finally - when you're away, be away. We expect hard work and focus from people while they’re on, and encourage everyone to fully unplug when they’re out. There is 0 expectation that you’re checking email or Slack or joining any meetings while you’re on vacation, outside of very limited circumstances.
