Taking time off and recharging is critical to doing your best work at Tidepool, so in addition to the Tidepool : US Holiday List, we want you to take whatever vacation time you need in order to maintain a balanced life while still fulfilling your responsibilities at Tidepool.

People often ask "Well, in general about how much vacation time do people take?" Historically, the answer has been "about three weeks per year," though sometimes more and sometimes less. We sometimes try aim to coordinate our time off; for . For example, most people take off the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day (though some people still need to work, such as to provide ops coverage or customer support).

Tidepool does not accrue "sick days." If you are sick and unable to work, take the time you need to become healthy. We also understand that sometimes you need to take time off in order to take care of a family member. If you think it you will become need an extended absence, please talk to the CEO or VP of People and Culture about it.Due to the nature of our business and mission, many of our employees are living with or have a family member living with a chronic disease.

So in short, our vacation and sick leave policy is: We have no policy. We trust you. Take what time you need to lead a balanced and healthy life, so that when you are working you are productive, energetic and inspiring others on the team to do the same.The only ask: please
