# Work schedule

Working days are from Monday to Friday. The support team has a duty schedule on weekends.

# Work hours

There are 8 daily working hours, a total of 40 hours per week. Everyone chooses the work schedule for themselves, with the exception of technical support. CS-team works according to the agreed schedule.
If you work together with a colleague, or you know that your help may be needed, let everyone know in Slack in #workspace that you need to leave. If known, indicate the approximate time of absence, for example: Отойду на 40 минут.
If you are arranging an appointment or call, add an event to your work calendar and invite all the participants.
At the beginning of the working day, greet your colleagues in Slack, this will mean that you are available at work, you can be reached out.

There's no limit for time offs, take as many as you need.

For long-time leaving please follow the following agreements:

All the opened tasks must be closed or distrubuted to your peers.
Try to avoid taking a leaving on the same dates, as your peers already taken. That's more related to @cs-team.
Make sure your team doesn't rely on your on these dates. For example, if a big release is scheduled on these dates and you were involved in developing a core feature in it.
