Adafruit – Election day is a paid day off for employees @adafruit #adafruit #MakeTheVote
Over the years Adafruit has added paid time off for charity, great benefits for all employees (not just for the “executives”!), a mother’s room, transit benefits, a great 401k for all, training & education, promotions from within, raises, bonuses, live/work balance … everything and anything we can do, and can afford, as we’ve grown to over 100+ people in NYC, making open-source electronics, loan-free, and VC free. We hope to always be able to do more.
Starting this year, Adafruit is adding Election Day 2018 as a paid day off for employees. It’s Tuesday, November 6th, 2018.
Paid Holidays 2018
- New Year’s Day
- Martin Luther King’s Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day / 4th of July

- Election Day (the November day set by law for general elections).

After we talked about paid time off for charity, other maker companies contacted us and added this as a benefit, so we’re posting about this as well and we hope other companies in the USA consider adding election day as a paid day off. As we did research we saw that another USA company has as well. If you know of any others, post them up in the comments.
