Paid time off / vacation / sick time off for salaried employees (exempt and non-exempt) will be as follows:
There is no official policy on how many days a salaried employee can take off in a given calendar year (whether vacation days, sick days, etc).
Once an employee has taken between 10 to 15 days off in a given calendar year, the operations manager will meet with an employee to ensure they are on track to reserve enough days off for the remainder of the year.
Once an employee has taken between 15 and 20 days off in a given calendar year, the operations manager will meet with an employee to see if “salary” or “hourly” is the best fit for the balance of the year.
All employees are expected to take a minimum of at least 10 working days off each calendar year.
Employees who agree to the Thanksgiving / Christmas Holiday terms will get an extra week off during the holidays each year.
Employees who agree to the Thanksgiving / Christmas Holiday terms and who work all ancillary days will be given an extra week of time off between January and April of the following year.
Employees who have “life events” (marriage, birth of a child, etc) will be given a one time week off for free for these events.
Appropriate time will be allocated for other one time events as coordinated with the operations manager - like jury duty, funerals, etc.
AirBridge Broadband will offer all salaried employees up to an additional two weeks off a year to all employees that agree to the following terms.
Employees that can coordinate with the operations manager and all other interested employees will have the option of taking a full week off during either Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years.
Please note it is important to AirBridge Broadband that we have adequate coverage during the holiday season. Being able to offer a full week off to interested employees only works if we have sufficient coverage during the holiday season (including the day after Thanksgiving).
If an employee takes a full week off during either Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years … they are agreeing to work all other non-holiday business days during the other two weeks (including the day after Thanksgiving unless they take the week of Thanksgiving off).
Occasionally, some employees will be required to work part days or whole days on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, and New Years due to valid business needs. When this occurs, our salaried employee holiday policy will prevail.
Employees who agree to and abide by the Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years agreement (meaning if they take a full week off, and they also follow through by working all non-holiday business days including the day after Thanksgiving if applicable), will have the opportunity to take an additional week off sometime between January and the end of April the following year.
If an employee has merited this extra week off, this determination will be made by the operations manager by the second week of January after the holidays are over (the operations manager will simply assess whether all non-holiday work days were worked other than the week that an employee opted to take off, including the day after Thanksgiving if applicable).
Please note that in order to merit the extra week off, one must work ALL non-holiday work days on weeks that they are scheduled to work. Taking a day off, for any reason, including calling in sick, will forfeit the option of taking the additional free week off between January and April of the following year.
If an employee works all non-holiday business days during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, they will be given a full week off any time in the following calendar year (other than the weeks of Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years).
