+    - ***Paid Miscarriage or Pregnancy Loss Leave** - we recognize that this type of loss is very personal and what one needs in this moment will vary person by person. As a starting point, we’d encourage any dbt Labs employee who has experienced a miscarriage or loss of pregnancy to take 2 - 4 weeks of leave. This is truly a starting point and may not be enough for you and your family to heal so please work with your business partner and your manager to receive the support you need.*
 - **Company Holidays**: dbt Labs observes a number of public and company holidays every year, and this schedule varies by country public holidays. See [Company Holidays ](#company-holidays) for days observed. You are asked to observe your local holidays (for the country you reside in).
 
 Note that because, in the United States, your time off is not accrued, you will not be paid out for any unused time offered under this policy when your employment with dbt Labs ends.
