At Filmhub, we believe in the importance of balancing work with personal time. Rest, recharging, and celebrating life are integral to our culture. Our vacation policy emphasizes trust, flexibility, and accountability. Taking time off is not just allowed—it's encouraged.

Permissionless time off

• We trust you to know when you can take time off.
• We have no set limit on vacation days. Take the time you need to rest and recharge while ensuring your responsibilities are managed.
• We expect you to take at least 25 days off per year, including your personally observed holidays, to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
• As general guidance, we don't care about a few days here and there. If you are taking significantly more vacation time than most - for example, 40 days, we would be very surprised if you aren't causing a strain on the rest of your team as a result.
• We do not have predefined company holidays—everyone is encouraged to take the holidays that are personally meaningful to them.

Instructions

1. Coordinate with your team to ensure proper coverage during your absence. General rule: There must be at least one appropriate team member working and able to cover for you. Please make sure you check that they are not already covering for someone else and that they are able to cover you (e.g. their current workload is not too high). To check if a team member is already out of the office, refer to our shared OOO Google Calendar (use this link to subscribe to our OOO calendar).

2. For time off that is less than a full day (e.g., doctor’s appointments, need to pick up kids, etc.), just block off your personal Filmhub calendar to avoid scheduling conflicts and ensure coverage if needed. There is no need to submit it via Rippling.

3. If you take one full day off or more, add your time off in Rippling.

   

   We have six different time off categories. Select the one that applies to your time off. For vacation time and national holidays, use the “vacation and holiday” category.

   

   

4. Your time off is automatically approved and will be visible on our shared OOO calendar. For extended vacations (5+ days), add your time off at least four weeks in advance into Rippling or earlier.

5. Use the Out-of-Office Coverage Guidelines below to prepare your coverage

   Out-of-Office Coverage Plan

Flexible Working

• We operate on a trust basis, and we don't count hours or days worked. We trust everyone to manage their own time to get their work done.

Transparency Without Comparison

• While we track time off for planning purposes and to encourage everyone to take their minimum days, we will not publish individual vacation details company-wide. This ensures privacy and prevents undue comparison.
