Unpaid Time Off (UPTO) is an option available to team members who have depleted their Paid Time Off (PTO) balance and wish to take additional time off beyond their allotted annual PTO. It is important to note that if you are planning on taking an extended period of time off through UPTO it must be discussed and agreed with your manager to ensure feasibility and smooth workflow management.

Here's a simple checklist for UPTO requests

• [ ] Have you checked your time off with your team to ensure coverage and avoid conflicts?
• [ ] Is your time-off request at least 10 days in the future?
• [ ] Have you requested the time off in Float?
• [ ] Have you inputted your approved UPTO in Rippling (for those in the US)?

<aside> 🌴 Always set your Slack with an emoji or an “OOO” message when you are booked off.
