Flexible Time Off
Flexible Time Off is for our exempt employees regularly scheduled to work 20 hours or more per week. If you're a non-exempt employee, please use Vacation instead.
Take as much time as you need for personal reasons, such as vacation, with Flexible Time Off. Time is not accrued so there is no balance to draw time off from. Just check in with your manager in advance. Please try to give them as much notice as possible, though we recognize short-term needs come up.
Vacation
Vacation time is for our non-exempt employees regularly scheduled to work 20 hours or more per week. If you're an exempt employee, please use Flexible Time Off for your vacation needs.
You start earning vacation days as soon as you start work, and time accrues over the course of the year. How much time you earn depends on how long you’ve worked at Seagate. Once you reach the maximum vacation account balance, you’ll stop earning vacation until you take some time off.
