Overview

Woolf has a flexible PTO policy, allowing employees and full-time team members to take time off at their choosing without having to count or accrue time-off hours.

We believe that time away from work is important and restorative for Woolf team members and leads to a better experience at Woolf. Therefore, every member of the Woolf team is encouraged to take at least 2 weeks each year at any time, for any reason.

PTO also covers illness, personal reasons, or appointments — these are flexible and should be scheduled so as to have as little impact on the team as possible.

National & Cultural Holidays

We encourage all Woolf team members to take time off to observe their respective national and cultural holidays.

Other Leave Policies

• If your requested time off exceeds 10 consecutive days, your PTO may be subject to a different leave policy (i.e., maternity/paternity, FMLA, Workers’ Comp). Check with your manager to discuss your options when requesting extended time off.
• See the HR: Leave of Absence Policy

General Guidelines

1. Please try to be available during regular working hours and to avoid missing key company-wide and team meetings (all hands, customer calls, sprints). These meetings are crucial to keeping Woolf's distributed work environment running in a functional manner — schedule appointments around them whenever possible.
2. Confirm PTO clearance with your manager for any event longer than 3 hours. Please ensure that partial PTO during your typical work hours does not coincide with busy times where you may need to be available to your teammates.
3. For any event less than 3 hours, confirm with your manager by Slack or email, then put a block in your calendar so your teammates know.
4. Be conscientious of whether your PTO will negatively impact teammates or your overall work — you are still responsible for hitting performance goals, especially in your first 90 days.
5. Managers who are OOO on a Friday should either post their Slack Updates early or designate a DR to post on their behalf.

Process for requesting time off

1. Request OOO days from your manager in advance to give everyone time to adjust. There is no guarantee for short notice requests.
