If you are a full-time employee of the company we would like you to arrive rested and ready for our work day together. To this end we expect full-time employees to not use their off hours and vacations to work on side projects. If you are full-time, please focus full-time on us, and when not working, rest and enjoy. If you want to work for us and do side projects, consider moving to a part-time role.
Speaking of rest. We want everyone to take the weekend off, not work, rest and recreate - enjoy yourself. We are in this for the long haul. This isn’t a sprint. It’s a marathon.
To this end, we want to take your vacation, we don’t want you to have to work because something unexpected came up, and more importantly, we don’t want you to feel obligated to work. With this in mind, and for the sake of those who are working while you are away, don’t login occasionally and drop a few work bombs (so to speak), and then sign off for another couple of days. Take your vacation. Trust your designates. Enjoy yourself.
So how much time away do you have? Depends up upon how long you have been a full-time employee;
In your first 3 months, we prefer that you don’t take time away other than public holidays listed above (Statutory Holidays).
Unless otherwise stated in your employment agreement Regular Full-Time employees earn (accrue) time away based on completed months of service, and in accordance with the following schedule:
| Length of Continuous Employment | Paid Time Away |
| In the first calendar year of active service |
20 workdays (prorated to the date of hire) plus 10 statutory holidays. |
| In the next calendar year of active service | 25 workdays plus 10 statutory holidays. |
| After four (4) years of active service | 30 workdays plus 10 statutory holidays. |
The Company’s Time Away entitlement year runs from January 1 to December 31.
Having a great time away requires work and planning. Don’t leave this planning to the last minute. The Company will strive to approve all requests for Time Away, provided that the Company is able to maintain a qualified work force sufficient to meet client commitments. All Time Away schedules must be approved by you manager at least two weeks in advance.
