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 coordinate 360 degrees with your team and track the time you take off using BambooHR software. 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
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:
- Monday through Friday
- 10 am to 4 pm
- Eastern Time
- EST (UTC-05:00)
- EDT (UTC-04:00)
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.
Bottom Line
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.
