Adobe offers additional paid time off for the following life events. Employees and managers should discuss and agree on any requests for special leave, trying to be as flexible as possible, while continuing to meet business needs.
Marriage leave
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).
Court duty
Leave without pay is provided to employees who serve court duty, who have no personal time-off days available, or is based on the manager’s discretion. For court duty, employees will be reimbursed by the court for unpaid leave. If you require an attestation perte de salaire, please submit a case to the Employee Resource Centre.
- Ensure that your manager is aware that you have been called for court duty and knows the date your service will start, and keep them updated on your expected return-to-work date.
- Email a copy of the certificate of attendance to your manager and the Employee Resource Centre. It is the employee’s responsibility to enter the dates of court service into Workday (see instructions).
Study exam leave
Five paid days per calendar year to prepare for exams for any course approved under the Learning Fund or other job-related course, with manager approval. Submit your request for statutory study leave in Workday (see instructions).
Paid day in lieu
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.
Special reasons leave FAQs
What happens to my benefits while I’m on special reasons leave?
All benefits remain unchanged while you are on special reasons leave (e.g., 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 programme and based on bookings that occur during the leave duration. For full details on sales commissions, please refer to the sales compensation programme terms and conditions and the sales LOA FAQ at WWFO Sales Compensation and Territory Site.
