You’re entitled to 15 days of vacation each calendar year. Be sure to arrange your time off with your manager. Unused time off carries over into the next year, up to a balance of 45 vacation days. Once your balance reaches 45 days, you’ll stop earning vacation days until you use some of your time.

Submit your vacation time through Workday. You can take time off in 4- or 8-hour increments.

Adobe takes a winter break each year. For 2024, the winter break is 24 December through 1 January. Five days of casual leave will be used to provide payment during the break. If you don’t have enough casual leave, 5 days will be taken from your vacation leave balance. These deductions are automatic—you don’t need to submit any requests for time away.

We hope you use this time for taking a break, giving back, thinking creatively, or whatever else you may need to do to take care of yourself.

If it’s not possible for you to take these days off due to business-critical obligations, please work with your manager to schedule your time off on another day. If the global wellbeing day falls on a public holiday, we do not offer an alternative day off in lieu.
