PURPOSE & SCOPE

At Linearity, we embrace flexible work practices to cater to the diverse needs of our team members. Some of our roles are based in Berlin, while others offer the option for complete remote work. We believe in providing a conducive work environment that inspires our employees, whether they choose to work from our Berlin headquarters or remotely from any location.

We fully support and encourage workations, ensuring that each team member can craft their ideal work setting and deliver results in any situation. We no longer anchor work to a specific place or time; instead, we focus on outcomes and the impact each individual makes. Effort is important, but it's the results that truly matter.

OFFICE SPACE

Our office space, located in Schönhauser Allee 9 in Berlin Mitte, offers 28 desks and we have secured a number of hot desks that are available for office visits. In case you travel to Berlin to work from the HQ, make sure to check with the People team for availability.

POLICIES & WORKING HOURS

Linearity company policies and guidelines apply to all employees, regardless of location. Additionally, statutory work regulations apply to both office-based and remote work. This means keeping the same core working guidelines, regardless of working in the office or remotely.

WORKATION

In case of working from abroad for more than 2 weeks, the People team and direct manager must be informed at least 14 days in advance

As a general rule, it is not possible to permanently work from a country other than the country that employs you.

You are allowed to work in a foreign country for a period of up to 3 months. Only with exceptions it is possible to extend it to 6 months (family reasons, political conflicts, etc.)

In principle, Linearity works according to the German time zone (CET). It is permitted that employees work from other time zones, however, each employee must bear the responsibility that deadlines are met, the workload is managed and that they are reachable and available during Berlin working hours (10:00am - 4:00pm). If employees work from a country with ****a different time zone, it’s expected to ensure that you attend the team and company meetings. It is not accepted that obligatory meetings (1:1, team meetings, stand-ups, company calls etc) are cancelled or get rescheduled.

In the case of a bad internet connection, lack of availability, weak work performance or similar, Linearity reserves the right to terminate the workation prematurely.

Please also keep in mind to verify that your foreign remote working plans do not result in any adverse consequences, violations of your applicable residence or visa permits in your employment country (if any). Linearity does not accept any responsibility for any such consequences and will not be able to support you on any disputes with authorities regarding your intended foreign remote working schedule.

If a Company retreat, or an in-person event falls within the period of a workation, the employee is required to attend and interrupt/end their workation. Travel expenses will only be reimbursed if the expenses are less than or equal to the cost of travel from the country of employment to the event location.
