Leave policies

Hey I have worked in 2 startups in my careers, In both places leave policies aren't that great. Just wanted to know what are policies in other workplaces

Unlimited leaves, no need approval, just team consensus. Expectation is that you let your team know before you take any leaves (1 day, 3 weeks,etc)

Apart from the above there are some general offerings such as 10 public holidays, bereavement leaves, ml/pl leaves and sabbatical options.

45 days on paper. But I need to just DM the team whenever I need a leave.

How many leaves do I take after having practically unlimited - maybe 20

The sabbatical policy is super nice although. 1 mo for each year.
I took 3 mo off after working 3 years.

Is this paid sabbatical?

Tell 2x advance for leave and if its a WFH half day is deducted from your leaves or salary if no leaves left.

My 1st company was like this, left it within 8 months and now I don’t even mention that shithole on my resume

Paternity leave of about 2-4 weeks. Depending on manager and project

20 annual leaves and 15 sick leaves, but the worst part is you can only opt for sick leave if you are taking it for 3 or more continuous days. 🤮

Woah didn’t know MS has this good policy. How do you justify your sick leave?

SquishyUnicorn

No questions are asked for sick leaves less than 3 days. More more than 3 days we need to submit a doctor's note.

Minimum legal leaves 14 days as the company is registered in singapore and also not very generous with leaves

I like Nas videos on FB. But he seems like Elon promoting unhealthy work culture. He even said once its already tough for him to run the company but yet I see Nas summit and new stuff

Yes he is different from what you see in the video, very stubborn and doesnt give a shit about the employees only throws sugar coated stuff at us but i always knew what i was signing up for and the pay is good so thats all i care for now

There is a study that given unlimited leaves, people tend to take lesser leaves. Just my 2 cents. Another point to add is that employer doesn’t have to encash. We’ve 21 annual leaves. 14 sick/casual leaves. No rejection so far. Sometimes can’t be same between 2 people.

Leave policy at startups

I am interviewing with an early stage startup in Gurgaon. As part of their leave policy, they offer only annual leaves which you earn at a certain rate every month. They do not offer any sick leaves or casual leaves to employees. Is that...
