Your health matters to us! If you’re unable to work at full capacity, please take sick leave and prioritize your recovery before returning to work.

At Toggl, we offer flexible sick leave, meaning there is no fixed limit to how many times per year you can take sick leave. If you’re sick, you’re sick, and you should take the time you need.

At the same time, this policy is built on trust, responsibility, and sustainability. ****While there is no strict cap on occurrences, patterns of frequent or repeated absences (e.g. regular short-term sick leave taken very often) may require a closer look and a conversation with your manager and People Operations to understand what’s going on and how we can best support you.

What this means in practice

• For short illnesses (3 days or less), inform your direct manager and your team.
• If your sick leave extends beyond one week, you must inform both your direct manager and People Operations so we can support you and plan accordingly.
• As a general guideline, up to four consecutive weeks of sick leave are paid.
• If your sick leave extends beyond four consecutive weeks, it will typically transition into unpaid sick leave, handled case by case in agreement with you, your manager, and People Operations.

Communication & Planning

When going on sick leave, please share your approximate return date, if you know it. If you don’t know it yet, inform us as soon as you have more clarity. This is extremely important so we can redistribute your workload and ensure your team is properly supported while you’re away.

Recording Sick Leave

All sick leave must be recorded in BambooHR.

• If you don’t know your return date, please enter 31st of December as a placeholder.
• Once you are back, we will retroactively update it to reflect the actual dates.

<aside> 🇪🇪 If you are an Estonian employee, there is no need to take official sick leave (haigusleht), because Toggl will maintain your salary anyway, no matter if it is 1, 2, 3 or more days.

Health Insurance

Toggl does not offer health insurance and you should get public or private coverage in your own country.
