Airbyte provides unlimited paid time off to all employees. We believe in work hard, rest hard. There is no approval process required or fixed limit on how many vacation or sick days you can take, however employees should not take off more than three weeks consecutively under this policy. There are no accruals, no waiting period, and no cash out.
PTO may be used for vacation, personal time, illness/sick time (for any purposes required under any applicable state’s sick leave law), or to care for dependents. Airbyte has not established a limit on the number of days off that an employee may take in a calendar year. Our guidance is that no employee should be off more than three weeks consecutively under our unlimited PTO policy. Any additional time after three weeks should be discussed with your leaders and the People team to assess best options or leaves of absence. For US-based employees, all absences should be sent to your manager through ADP for approval.
If you need to be out longer than seven (7) consecutive days due to your, or a family member’s, illness, please contact your manager and the People Team. PTO is not a substitute for a leave of absence. Please refer to our Personal Leave of Absence Policy for more details.
For planned PTO requests longer than one week, please provide at least four weeks prior notice to your immediate manager. Planned PTO requests less than two weeks, please provide two weeks of notice.
This policy is not intended to provide for paid leave on an unlimited or permanent basis. Except to the extent otherwise required by law, this policy does not apply to time off from work that may be covered by other policies (including, but not limited to, policies regarding Pregnancy Disability Leave, Family and Medical Leave, California Family Rights Act, etc.), or to time during which you may be eligible for benefits from disability insurance policies, government disability benefit programs, or other sources. Leaves taken under those policies are not covered by this policy and, therefore, are taken unpaid, unless the policy states or state law states/provides otherwise.
If based in the US: We ask that you submit all PTO requests through ADP.
If based outside the US: We ask that you submit all PTO requests via Deel. These requests will be automatically approved by the People Team so please be sure to give your manager and team advanced notice of your scheduled time off.
Parental leave is viewed differently than shorter-term absences, as it usually extends beyond the length of the average vacation. Regardless of gender or the means by which you become a parent (childbirth, foster care, or adoption), anyone at Airbyte has the option to take parental leave.
Effective July 1, 2024, employees will be required to have six (6) months of service at Airbyte to guarantee up to 16 weeks off at full pay. If you started at Airbyte between February 2024 - June 2024, and are in need of taking parental leave prior to your 6 months of service, please reach out to Ally Olney from our People team directly to discuss an exception to the policy. If you are eligible for state benefits, we will support you in the application process and Airbyte will top off the difference.
Please inform your manager of your intent to take parental leave as soon as possible; except in extenuating circumstances, we require at least 2 months advance notice. Upon request, it may be possible to accommodate incremental leave, in minimum one-week blocks, over the span of 12 months.
As parental leave laws differ from country to country, local laws will take precedence over Airbyte should there be a difference in policy. And if there is an issue, please feel free to let us know!
Airbyte recognizes that you may need time off from work in special circumstances that other leave policies may not address. In such cases, you may request a personal leave of absence.
Please note Airbyte offers Unlimited PTO for paid time off not taken due to an illness, hardship, need to care for family members, or other special circumstances. In other words, if you’re simply taking a vacation from work, please refer to our Unlimited PTO guidelines.
All Airbyte team members are eligible to apply for an unpaid personal leave of absence.
Requests for unpaid personal leave exceeding 5 consecutive business days must be submitted to your manager and the People Team ([email protected]) in writing at least 10 days in advance where practical. In emergency situations, written notice must be provided as soon as possible. The request should include the reason for the leave as well as the dates you expect to begin and end the leave.
Airbyte will determine the duration and coverage of benefits on a case-by-case basis. If an extended personal leave of absence is taken, the team member may be responsible for the cost of coverage.
You are required to return from unpaid personal leave on the originally scheduled return date. If you are unable to return, you must request an extension of the leave in writing at least 10 days in advance of the return date. Leave extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If Airbyte denies the extension request, you must return to work on the originally scheduled return date or be considered to have voluntarily resigned from your employment.
