EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO WORK AT THE CLAY CORNER?
A healthy lifestyle is very important to us. Employment at The Clay Corner is treated as an agreement among equals, with a standard of mutual respect.
​
We offer unlimited paid time off and sick days.
We also have an 80% standard worktime policy.
Full-time employees are eligible for healthcare.
How our 80% worktime policy plays out:
For every 4 hours that you work, you receive an additional paid hour on your paycheck.
​
Why do we do this?
We are looking to redefine the work culture in our society. We expect you to use the paid hours outside of your working hours to take care of yourself and rest mentally and physically so that you can give the best that you can when you are at work.
​​
How does PTO work?
We are constantly adjusting our PTO policy to meet the needs of our small team. We currently have unlimited PTO, with a maximum of 2 weeks back-to-back. Additionally, we have a mandatory 4-weeks each year. At the end of the current quarter we evaluate if you've taken or scheduled a week. If you haven't then we get time off scheduled. For example, if you haven't taken or scheduled at least three weeks of PTO by Oct. 1st, then we work to get that on the schedule.
Why? Its too common for workplaces with unlimited PTO to hold a culture of not taking it. We hope to eliminate that potential culture by forcing time off.
