General rules for days off inside Esc Media.

Platforms do not sleep, they don’t have weekends, and since our business depend on high performance of our content, it is important to organise your team in such a way that is efficient, while each member has a proper chance to rest.

General info

Each member of our teams has:

• 20 working days off a year.

• Unlimited amount of sick leaves.

We use commutative system for calculating days off: each consecutive month adds 1.7 days to the employee’s vacation.

General rules

1. An employee should inform the Team Lead beforehand their planned leave.

• For situational days off that are 1-2 days long, the absence warning time is minimum 1 day prior the leave.

• For longer vacations that are more than 5 working days, the absence warning time is minimum 3 weeks prior the leave.

2. We have small teams that work in fast pace, thus we can ensure quick profitability of our startup projects.

It is therefore advised to give your employees vacation of no longer than one consecutive week. It is better that your team members take a few weeks off, scattered throughout the year, rather than one long vacation.

3. Unused vacation days do not burn and they will be counted in the employee’s leave package.
