time off
The key to a good work-life balance.
Time away from work is important for a friendly work/life balance. Snowflake provides regular employees with flexible paid time off (PTO) from work for personal activities such as vacations, personal business, or family concerns. Learn more about your vacation time, sick time, and paid holidays, as well as your options when you need to take extended time away, below.
Time Off
Vacation
We take a professionally managed approach to vacation time. Vacation hours aren’t accrued—simply coordinate with your manager in advance to agree on vacation time throughout the year. We do not set a limit on the amount of PTO Snowflakes may take, and PTO does not accrue. However, Snowflakes are expected to consider their professional obligations and responsibilities to the company and consult with their managers to determine reasonable and appropriate time off before requesting PTO.
Sick Time
If you are sick and not well enough to work, we encourage you to take sick time. Our sick time policy is “take it as you need it” for full-time, exempt employees. Non-exempt employees accrue 2.77 hours each pay period. Any employee who is out of the office for more than five consecutive sick days must file for a medical leave of absence.
Holidays
Snowflake observes 13+ annual holidays per year.
Leaves of Absence
Snowflake offers several types of leaves of absence (LOA) for various situations. LOAs include, but are not limited to:
- Medical Leave
- Parental Leaves (Maternity, Paternity, Baby Bonding)
- Family Care Leave
- Workers’ Compensation Leave
- Military Leave
