We enjoy a lot of freedom and responsibility at Luscii, but one thing is required: you have to take personal time off.
We know it can be hard to step away from your colleagues and the inspiring work you're doing. But taking real breaks between the sprints is essential — for you, and for us. We want you to use time off to reload. You decide when and how. Think about what your body and mind actually need, not a quota. Here's how it works.
💡 Luscii's "unlimited vacation" policy: take as many personal or vacation days as you want, as long as you complete your work.
The law tells us what we can and can't do around time off. We think that's a very limited way to think about it. We want you to think about what you actually need — starting from two pillars:
Most people at Luscii don't track hours, because time is such a limited variable for capturing the reality of work. That's why we don't track holiday quotas either.
At Luscii, we don't have a holiday quota — we have a moral obligation to our loved ones and to Luscii to work hard and to rest enough.
Your contract states a legal minimum of paid time off (NL: 4 weeks / 16 days; UK: 28 days full-time; DE: 20 days for a 5-day week). Those figures are four times a full working week, so they are yours if your contract is the standard one and they scale with your hours if it isn’t. On top of that, you have local public holidays. You're free to swap: take time off for the days that matter to you, work the days that matter less — as long as you align it with your team.
Make sure to take real rest during periods of working hard. Worked a few nights to finish a project? Have lunch with a friend, go to the gym, or have a New Girl marathon. It's about balance and flexibility.
