Overview

Taking time off from work is important. It’s essential for your overall wellbeing and allows greater productivity in both your professional and personal life. This could mean taking extended time away from work for health, family, or other reasons.

Nutanix offers a variety of programs that allow you time to relax, recover, care for family members, honor personal commitments, and more.

Paid Time Off

To learn more about these programs, visit our intranet.

Exempt (salaried) employees

Flexible Time Off allows U.S. exempt employees to take time off from work for vacations or personal reasons. With Flexible Time Off, you don’t accrue any vacation benefits or paid time off. Instead, you can simply take time when you need it.

Work directly with your manager to arrange your time off in advance, and be sure to enter your time off in Workday. It’s your responsibility to work with your manager, to ensure your work‐related commitments are covered while you’re away. Flexible Time Off may not be used for situations that are covered by the company’s paid sick leave and leave of absence policies.

Non-exempt (hourly) employees

All non-exempt employees accrue vacation time off each pay period, based on years of service.

Years of Service Annual Accrual* Maximum Cap on Accrual
0-4 years 15 days / 120 hours 22.5 days / 180 hours
5+ years 20 days / 160 hours 30 days / 240 hours

*If you work a reduced schedule (less than 30 hours per week), you’ll accrue vacation time off on a prorated basis.

If you reach the maximum cap for your accrual, and you haven’t used any of the time, you’ll stop accruing more time until you reduce your balance by taking time off.

Work directly with your manager to arrange your vacation time off and record the time in Workday. Be sure to request and schedule time off as far in advance as possible, so your manager can ensure sufficient coverage while you’re away.

Sick Time

Even the most health-conscious people get sick sometimes. When that happens, you can count on Nutanix to allow you time to rest or go to the doctor.

All employees receive 80 hours (10 days) of paid sick time each calendar year, which is prorated in your first year of employment, based on the month you join Nutanix. Sick time refreshes each January, up to a maximum of 80 hours. If you’re sick and unable to work, notify your manager as soon as possible and capture your sick time in Workday.

Sick time can be used for absences for up to five consecutive business days. Sick time replaces 100% of your pay when you need to take time away from work due to an illness, to care for a sick dependent, as the result of an injury, or for pregnancy.

Note: Unused sick days are not paid out when you leave Nutanix.

What if I need more than five sick days in a row?

You must apply for a medical leave of absence if you’re sick and unable to work for more than five consecutive business days.

Note: Flexible Time Off or vacation time off isn’t a substitute for sick time off or going on a leave of absence. If you need to be away from work for longer than five consecutive business days due to illness, injury, a new baby, etc., you’ll need to request a leave of absence.

Volunteer Time Off

The Nutanix Volunteer Time Off (VTO) program was created to support your efforts to give back to your local (and global) communities. VTO allows you to take up to 32 hours of VTO per fiscal year.

You can request time off in Workday for manager approval — a one-week advance notice is required. Next, track your time off in the Nutanix Spark portal.

Jury Duty/Witness Service

If you’re a regular, full-time employee called to jury duty or subpoenaed to serve as a witness, you’ll receive your regular base pay for serving up to five days per year. Be sure to notify your manager as soon as possible and record your time off in Workday.

Bereavement Time Off

It’s important to take some time for yourself and your family when you suffer a loss. Nutanix offers employees time off for the death of a family member. Review Nutanix’s Global Bereavement Time Off Program. Be sure to notify your manager as soon as possible about the time you’ll need off and record the time in Workday.
