What is a Vacation Policy?

Your employees deserve a little R&R, but as a business, it makes sense to set some limits. Make sure that your Vacation Policy is down on paper. How many days per year do employees get? Does it change if they've been there longer? Paid or unpaid? Spell it out so it's easy for employees (and you) to plan ahead for leave time. A Vacation Policy can help.
