<aside> ☀️ Research and experience tell us that taking vacation results in greater success at work as well as lower stress and more happiness at work and home. That's why we want everyone every year to take time off and enjoy life outside of Toggl on things they love most.

Vacation Policy

• You get 24 business days of paid vacation per year.
• Vacation days are granted proportionally to the time worked at Toggl (24÷12=2 days per month; rounding toward the nearest whole number).
• Vacation days start accumulating from day one.
• We encourage everyone to take at least one longer vacation (2 weeks or more), because we believe this will improve work-life balance and help you get a true rest. You may also use your vacation days in shorter increments, but team leads have the right to not approve single-day vacations, very short-term notice vacations or anything else that unreasonably disrupts the team’s plans or productivity.

<aside> ❗ Public holidays that fall in your vacation are not counted towards vacation days. When requesting a vacation in BambooHR, it's your responsibility to mark any public holidays with a 0 and write the name of the holiday in the Note field. Read more on Public Holidays

<aside> ‼️ Vacation days expire at the end of each calendar year, with a carryover allowance of up to 5 unused days to the following year. This is how we ensure you get the necessary rest throughout the year, use your vacation days, and maintain the work-life balance.

Plan your vacation days proportionally throughout the year to avoid a backlog at the end. Remember, your manager is not responsible for ensuring you take your vacation days. If you wait until Q4 with many unused days, requests may be declined due to project priorities or team disruptions, putting you at risk of losing those days.

</aside>

• You have the right to interrupt, postpone or terminate prematurely a vacation for significant personal reasons (sick leave, pregnancy, maternity leave etc) and you may take the unused part of the vacation immediately after the impediment or at another time.
• Should you leave Toggl, you will be compensated for any unused vacation days accumulated by that date. Also, if you have used up vacation days not yet accumulated by your last day, we will deduct the proportional compensation amount from your last salary.

How to Request Vacation Time?

• Submit all your time off requests/changes in BambooHR. See instructions for request and for calculating your remaining balance.

• Vacations have to be approved in BambooHR by your team lead.
• You are allowed to reschedule vacations, but it needs your team lead's approval as we need to take into consideration other team members’ planned vacations and make sure the team's work isn't disrupted.
• You are responsible for adding your vacations and public holidays to Toggl Plan for others to see when you will be unavailable.
• You are not expected to respond to chat messages when you are not working or when you are on vacation. If you are away, please make sure to add a status message with a note about how long you're out of the office and who is replacing you during vacation 🌴.
