There is no vacation policy. You just leave when you want to. But that can be hard for a manager to deal with when an employee wants to be gone at an important time. There is a sense of entitlement around taking time off where employees frequently book travel before they have even checked with their manager. This leaves the manager in a very tough spot if they ever feel like a "no" is called for. Managers tend to opt to just let people go and delay the projects or tell their stakeholders that they don't have enough manpower. Some people take advantage of that and it creates tension within teams.
All EAs (non-exempt employees) accrue two days of Personal Time Off (PTO) each month for their first five years of service (PTO is prorated for part-time employees). After five years, you’ll begin to accrue more. You can use this PTO for vacation, sick time, personal business, or floating holidays. You are also required to use your PTO during the July and December company break periods. We shut down the week of July 4th and between Christmas and New Years and we are required to use a few of our PTO days during those shut downs. But I always seem to have plenty left over!
Up to you and your manager
