Holidays & life events.

Holiday is important

Please take it regularly and make sure you're taking enough. It's not just good for you, it helps the whole team stay healthy and productive.

When requesting holiday:

1. Email your team and anyone affected by your absence, cc’ing the People Support Lead.
2. At the same time, submit your holiday request in Simplicate: https://lifely.simplicate.nl.
3. Your request will be approved in Simplicate as long as there are no red flags from the team.

Schedule your time off in your calendar so it’s clear that you’re unavailable for meetings, messages, and other tasks. It’s a good idea to add your colleagues’ holiday too.

Team Leads:

• Remind your team to take time off regularly.
• Clearly communicate your own time off, at least a month in advance.

Giving plenty of notice helps us plan ahead so we can schedule projects safely and hit deadlines without last-minute stress.

In most cases, your holiday request will be fine (9 out of 10 times).

But occasionally we might ask you to shift a day or two to avoid clashing with key timelines.

Planning something longer (3+ consecutive weeks)?

Please flag this well in advance by informing People Support Lead and talking it over with your team.
