All full-time employees are entitled to 15 consecutive working days of paid annual leave (the GitLab Foundation encourages Colombia team members to take at least 20 days) and 18 paid public holidays.

Pregnancy and Maternity

Mothers in Colombia receive 18 weeks of maternity leave, typically beginning one week before the child’s due date, paid at 100% of their standard salary. Mothers may take the leave up to two weeks before their due date or can begin the leave on the day of the birth, if necessary.
