Adobe provides the statutory leave of up to 10 paid days per year per child under 12 years of age in the event of the child’s illness. A doctor’s certificate, stating the requirement to look after the sick child, is required on the first day of absence. Submit your request for family leave in Workday (see instructions). Submit the doctor’s certificate by submitting a request via the Support Centre.

One paid day which should be taken on the week you change your residence. Submit your request for moving house in Workday (see instructions).

Your manager will receive a notification that you have requested moving house day in Workday but will not be asked to approve, so be sure to get their approval prior to entering in Workday.

Five paid days immediately before or after your own wedding or the wedding of your child. Adobe does not require a marriage certificate but reserves the right to solicit back documentation for audit purposes if needed. Submit your request for marriage leave in Workday (see instructions).

Five paid days per calendar year to prepare for exams for any course approved under the Learning Fund programme or other job-related course, with manager approval. This is in addition to any statutory entitlement in a region that offers 10 days per two years for certified courses. Only courses qualifying under the regional Bildungsurlaubsgesetz are eligible (see a list of eligible courses and contacts for regional authorities). We can only process statutory study leaves at full pay if you have obtained all necessary documents legally required by your region.

Submit your request for statutory study leave in Workday (see instructions). Your manager will receive a notification that you have entered study leave in Workday but will not be requested to approve, so be sure to get their approval prior to entering in Workday.

You can take a paid day in lieu of travelling for business on a non-working day or weekend. You must take the day in lieu within one month of your business trip. Talk to your manager prior to your business trip about taking the paid day in lieu to ensure that they approve the trip, including the non-working day, and the paid day in lieu. There is no need to track this time off in Workday.

What happens to my benefits while I’m on special reasons leave?

All benefits remain unchanged while you are on special reasons leave (i.e., marriage, study).

How are my base salary and commissions calculated, if I am a commissionable employee, during paid special reasons leave?

For special leaves, all employees receive 100% of base salary, and commissions are calculated as per the individual’s sales compensation program and based on bookings that occur during the leave duration.
