Flexible Scheduling

Stuff happens.

There are snow days. You have morning sickness. The ferret needs emergency surgery in Massachusetts. Your parent breaks a leg and needs you to fly down to Florida. Sometimes, PTO isn't enough.

At Vermont Craft Mead, we do our best to provide flexible scheduling to our entire staff. 

Currently, we offer:

• Flexible work options and hours upon request and within the limits of the position, (e.g. jobs which involve a great deal of design work and social media may be done from home and at the employee’s preferred schedule).
• Opportunities to rework a position to meet personal life changes and goals, (e.g. a brewer may be allowed to take on more mobile work such as supply-chain management to allow for travel or family requirements).
• Paid parental leave for all genders for both birth and adoption, with full wage replacement for 4 weeks.  (Available after 6 months with the company.)
• Extended parental leave for all genders for both birth and adoption. Employees may take up to 9 months off unpaid and return to their position at the same pay-rate and hours. Employees may also opt to take advantage of our flexible working arrangement to modify their position as previously mentioned. (More on parental leave can be found here.)
