Holiday season
Our offices traditionally close early on December 24 and December 31. Whether we close each
year and the time of the closure will depend upon business needs. If you choose to take a
vacation day on either of these dates, it will be counted as a full vacation day.
Occasionally, we also close the offices and provide a bonus holiday on an additional day during
the holiday season (e.g. if Christmas/Boxing Day falls on a Wednesday/Thursday, we may
choose to close on the Friday). This, however, is on an annual ad-hoc basis and at the
discretion of Management.
Vacation
At Bradley Smoker, we expect you to work hard… but, we also believe that you have to play (or
relax) hard too! After all, what’s the point of working so hard if you can’t enjoy it? We encourage
you to get out there and create some awesome adventures and memories. As such, we will
provide opportunities for you to take all of your vacation entitlement each year.
Vacation entitlement
Your annual vacation entitlement is based upon your years of service (anniversary date), as
outlined below. Upon approval, you can begin taking vacation after three months, so long as
you have accrued it first.

If you would like to extend your vacation by a week or two, so long as it is approved by your
manager, you may take the additional time as unpaid.
Carry forward of vacation
As we want you to take the time to relax and enjoy life outside of work, we strongly encourage
you to use all of your earned vacation in a year. We discourage carry-over of vacation time;
however if for some reason (e.g. work commitments), you are simply unable to do so, you may
carry over a maximum of 5 vacation days to the next year, so long as you make a plan to use
them within the first three months of the following year. These exceptions must be approved by
your manager in advance.
There is no pay-out of vacation days under any circumstances.
