Payroll cycles, benefits, PTO, expenses, and the mundane bits that make a workplace hum. If a question shows up here more than twice, we add it.
When you get paid, how, and what to do when something looks off.
StackDX runs payroll on a semi-monthly cycle — the 15th and the last business day of the month. If either falls on a weekend or holiday, pay lands the business day before. (TBD — confirm exact cadence.)
Log in to the payroll portal, open Profile → Pay Setup. Changes made before the cutoff (5 business days before payday) apply to the next run.
Email payroll@stackdx.com with a screenshot and the pay period. Response time is usually one business day.
They're posted in the payroll portal by January 31st. You'll also get an email notification.
Health, dental, vision, retirement, and the perks that don't fit in a summary email.
Medical, dental, and vision through our benefits provider. Coverage starts the first of the month after your start date. (TBD — link plan comparison PDF.)
StackDX matches 100% of the first 4% you contribute. Vesting is immediate. Enroll or update your contribution in the retirement portal any time.
16 weeks paid for the primary caregiver, 8 weeks for the secondary, taken any time in the first year. (TBD — confirm with People Ops.)
Time off, holidays, and how to request time away without a spreadsheet.
Unlimited, with a minimum of three weeks a year. Managers are on the hook to make sure you take it.
Post it in the PTO channel, mark it on the shared calendar, and give your team at least a week's heads-up for anything longer than two days.
The federal holiday list, plus a company-wide winter break from Dec 24 through Jan 1.
Take one. Let your manager know. No forms.
What's reimbursable, what needs pre-approval, and how to file.
Anything over $500, conference tickets, and any recurring subscription. Ping your manager with the estimated cost and rationale.
Snap the receipt in the expenses app, tag the category, and submit. Reimbursements hit your next payroll cycle.
Receipts required for anything over $25. Below that, a note in the app is fine.
