Take‑What‑You‑Need (TWYN) Leave
Team members have no ‘cap’ on the number of days they wish to take in any one year. This means you can plan holiday or vacation time or request time when you need it, without the worry of running out of leave days.
TWYN leave requests must follow policy guidelines and team members are encouraged to use a minimum of 20 days of annual leave per annum (prorated in the first year and also prorated in a part‑time position), plus statutory Bank Holidays.
Charcoalblue traditionally closes its studios between Christmas and New Year’s Day, resulting in an additional 4‑5 discretionary paid vacation days each year.
