Responsible Vacation Policy

Because I am a workaholic who doesn&#x27;t trust management to look out for me, I want a formal vacation policy that accrues vacation days so there&#x27;s no chance for misunderstanding either way.<p>If you can solve the problem of finding a management chain that truly looks out for its employees rather than chasing maximal profitability and&#x2F;or covering its own a$$, I salute you. Until then, I&#x27;ll stick to a formal vacation policy as the 80% solution that just isn&#x27;t broken.

Paragraph 3 of the RiverGlide employment contract ( <a href="https://github.com/RiverGlide/contracts/blob/master/employment.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;RiverGlide&#x2F;contracts&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;employme...</a> )<p>The law entitles You to a minimum of 28 days of paid leave per year. This consists of 8 public holidays and 20 days of paid leave per year. We expect you to take at least the minimum amount of leave each year. We also encourage you to take as much additional leave as you need to maintain the health and well being of yourself and the company, as long as to do so would not cause harm to You, Us or any client We are engaged with.<p>Basically, we expect our employees to take a minimum amount of time off but we don&#x27;t track it. Hopefully the other paragraphs make sense to responsible adults too

I&#x27;d really like to know if they have any actual Europeans working there? I wouldn&#x27;t call myself a slacker, but having worked only in Germany I like my 25+ days of paid vacation very much.<p>Oh, and about every person who moved to the US (i.e. the valley) said they miss their vacation time a lot. And they also said they love their jobs...
