 === Paid Time Off (PTO) ===
 PTO is provided to employees for the purpose of rest and relaxation. Employees are eligible for 15 days of PTO per calendar year that can be used for any reason, such as vacation, personal business, or illness or injury. New employees are granted leaves on a prorated basis based on the date of joining. Detailed information regarding the approval process for this leave is provided in the leave policy document.
 === Comp Time Off ===
 Comp Time Off is an additional form of leave that an employee may accrue when they work on company holidays or weekends. This type of leave is typically earned at a rate proportional to the amount of time worked, and can be used at a later date when the employee needs time off. The approval process is the same as PTO. Comp time off is granted in addition to the regular PTO (Paid Time Off) allocation.
 === Exception Time Off ===
 If an employee has utilized all of their available paid time off and comp time off, they have the option to request additional leave, known as Exception Time Off. The approval of Exception Time Off is contingent upon a case-by-case basis, considering various factors such as the employee's tenure, their contributions to the company, the impact of their absence on the team and company, as well as the specific circumstances surrounding the leave request. To support their request for Exception Time Off, the employee is required to provide appropriate documentation. The final decision regarding Exception Time Off is determined by the employee's manager and the HR department. These additional leaves, which may include but are not limited to maternity leave, paternity leave, or family emergencies, can be either paid or unpaid depending on the outcome of the review conducted by the designated panel.
 === Regular (Core) Working Hours ===
 Our primary customer is the United States Federal government located in and around Washington, DC. So, our core working hours are:

 Sometimes people start a bit late and work late, others like to get an early start. Some work early, break for childcare or errands, and then work late. We do have some west coast folks (California, Washington state, Hawaii) so on a team basis, we may have our first morning standup a bit later in the day (11 am - 1 pm). So, schedules might be a bit flexible based on your client and team. Regardless, like most companies, we expect you to give a day's work for a day's pay, i.e., 8 productive hours per day, 5 days per week.
 === American Holidays ===
-We are an American company that observes major U.S. Federal Holidays. Having said that, we also have people living in other countries who would like to observe their local holidays. And, not everybody here is a Christian or Jew or Muslim or Atheist or whatever, so we don't want to force anybody to observe any particular religious or political holiday.
+As an American company, we recognize and observe major U.S. Federal Holidays. However, we also acknowledge the diverse backgrounds of our team members, including those residing in different countries who may wish to observe their local holidays. We prioritize inclusivity and respect for individual beliefs, ensuring that no one is obligated to observe any specific religious or political holiday. Our aim is to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and their cultural practices are respected.

 === Paid Time Off (PTO) ===
-Generally speaking, we have a flexible work schedule with unlimited paid time off. Family and personal health always come first. If you need to take time off for any reason, please '''<big>coordinate 360 degrees with your team and track the time you take off using BambooHR software</big>'''. Take the time off that you need but keep everyone in the loop, so we don’t make mistakes with clients and projects. Having said that, there may also be times when you need to work evenings, weekends, or holidays. So, work when you need to work, take time off when you need to take time off. Please don't abuse our flexible PTO policy

+=== Bottom Line ===
-!Holiday
+The bottom line here is that if you need or want an hour, couple hours, day, couple days, week, couple weeks off then take that time off. But, we've still got a business to run and clients need to be happy or else they won't pay our invoices. And, if they don't pay our invoices, then there is no money to pay you, your salary, your benefits, your health insurance, your tuition reimbursement, or your IT stipend. There is no Bank of Agileana, this is not a charity. Work when you need to work, take time off when you need to take time off. Keep clients happy and everything will work out.
