MOSTLY AI is proud to offer several benefits in addition to the regular salary.

We are committed to treat all Mostlies equally, but there are legal and market conditions we need to address and comply with. Whenever applicable we are splitting the description of the benefit by your type of employment or location, but you should always check with your direct employer (Employer Of Record or Agency) for further information.

Initial Home Office Stipend - One off

On top of the laptop, MOSTLY AI will provide you with all the equipment you need to perform your job in the most efficient way.

All Mostlies can purchase home office equipment up to 1000 EUR/USD (incl. VAT).

We are a start-up with limited resources. If you don’t need any of these items, please have an environmentally-friendly behaviour and don’t waste resources.

Our recommendation is that, on top of the laptop, you have the following setup:

  • Screen
  • Mouse
  • Keyboard
  • Headset
  • Ergonomic office desk
  • Ergonomic office chair
  • Cables and adaptors as needed
  • Webcam, but only for specific roles that require producing high quality video content to be shared externally.

This benefit doesn't cover items that are not used in your home-office environment, such as TV, gaming consoles, phones, non-office furniture, streaming services, e-readers, printers, USB drives, external hard drives, etc.

This benefit can be used after a successful probation period and no later than 6 months after your start date. If not used within this period, the benefit expires.

This benefit can’t be used by employees under termination processes.

Not applicable

Vacation (Paid)

Time away from work can be extremely helpful for maintaining a healthy work/life balance. MOSTLY AI encourages managers to set the example by taking time off when needed, and ensuring their reports do the same.

Please read about “Vacation” and other types of absences here.

3rd party Contractors (Superdevs, Geekforless, etc)

All MOSTLIES are granted 25 days of holidays per full year.

Please be sure to book your vacation days in Personio.

MOSTLY AI offers Flexible Time off (FTO) in the USA. Flexible time off is in addition to public holidays for the USA.

  • Our FTO policy means that as long as you have coordinated your planned time off with your manager, you are free to take the time off. There is no set limit per year on the amount of time off a team member can take.

  • As a guideline, you should inform your manager of your planned FTO as soon as possible at least 2 weeks in advance notice as the total amount of days that you plan to take off.

  • All FTO requests need to be submitted and approved in Personio.

  • All accrued and unused vacation will be forfeited at termination.

Please be sure to book your vacation days in Personio.

As a person employed via an EOR, you are employed according to the local paid time off policies. Nevertheless, MOSTLY AI wants to ensure a harmonized policy across all locations, therefore we offer every person hired via an EOR 25 days of holidays per full year.

Should your country require a higher entitlement we will comply with this regulation.

Carry over policies vary per country. Please engage with Remote to find more about your location.

Remote doesn’t have an integration with Personio, so you need to book your holidays in both platforms: Remote and Personio.

All contractors are granted a minimum of 25 free days per full year of service*.

These days do not accrue (if the contracts ends, remaining days will not be paid out).

These days cannot be rolled over to the next 12 months*.

*Example:
Maria Doe joins in May 2022.
Maria’s accruals run from May 2022 until May 2023.

All accrued and unused vacation will be forfeited at termination**.

**If there is an agreement to pay unused vacation days, the formula is:

Monthly fee / 22 days (this is the average number of working days in one month) = Daily fee

Number of vacation days unused X Daily fee = The amount that can be billed / added to the final invoice.

Please be sure to book your vacation days in Personio.

Holidays and how they are paid depend on your specific contract with your employer/agency.

Please be sure to book your vacation days in Personio.

Company holidays: additional days off

MOSTLY offers additional days off. The executive team will decide and communicate additional days off early in advance, so that you can plan and enjoy some extra free time.

Additional days off need to be recorded in Personio as “Company holidays” (you can learn here how to do it).

If you are hired with EOR Remote, please book it as "Others" and indicate in the note "Additional days off offered by the company MOSTLY AI".

This benefit is not offered to 3rd party contractors.

CEO Award

If you think one of your peer really goes the extra mile and embodies our core values, please bring that person on the (virtual) stage and nominate them for the CEO award.

Please send a message to Tobias Hann with some bullet points to describe the actions and the impacts of the nominee and Tobi will make a fair assessment.

The submission should be done at least 1 working day before the STATUS meeting.

A 100€ amazon gift card (or equivalent) will be awarded.

Peer 2 Peer recognition

Remember that time a peer complimented your hard work on that project? (btw, congrats!) 

How did it make you feel? If you’re like most people, then it probably made you feel awesome (but only after you checked that it wasn’t your mom hijacking your mate’s laptop 😅). 

We would love to see that more often and also… actually visualise it! 👀 So on top of a private comment, we invite you to join #mostly-kudos-and-tacos on Slack and praise your colleague by sharing when and why that peer deserved your appreciation. Add the app HeyTaco and finish your message with a (blue star) .

One 50 EUR/USD Amazon gift card (or equivalent) will be awarded to a person that collects 10 tacos.

Examples:

@username, you have been a great addition to the ABC team. Your energy and commitment to solve the compliance issue with the provider Y this week was so impressive. Keep up the good work! Enjoy your (blue star)

@username, having you on the team makes such a huge difference. I was blown away by your contributions to the this week’s release You're a savvy problem-solver! Here’s your (blue star)
