Holiday & Leave
Vacation
Allowance
Full-time UK employees at ESPROFILER are permitted to take 28 days of annual leave, in addition to the UK Bank Holidays. This allowance is pro-rated for employees working part-time.
Logging Time Off
BreatheHR
We use BreatheHR to track and log our vacation time. You can "Request Leave" through this tool, which will then be submitted for approval by your first-line manager.
Shared Team Calendar
To make it easier for the company to see when people are in/out, we have a shared Google Calendar, called the Team Calendar.
You should have an invite to that calendar, which will append to your Calendar view. If you do not, you can add it manually by following this link.
When you book vacation, you should also add an event to the Team Calendar so that your colleagues can see when you will be in/out.
To do this, follow these steps:
- Click "Create"
- Ensure the type is "Event" (not "Out of Office"!)
- Select the day you will be taking vacation, and make it an "All Day" event.
- Towards the bottom, change the Calendar from your personal calendar to "Team Calendar"
- Click "Save"

You can then set this event to repeat appropriately if you are out for more than one day in a row.
Sick Leave
You should let your first-line manager if you are feeling unwell and will be unexpectantly absent from work. If you are off for more than half a day, please log your Sick Leave in BreatheHR.
