Some releases deserve more than a calendar reminder. GTA VI is one of them.

When the game officially launches, **every Hardal teammate gets one additional paid day off** to use within the following 30 days. It sits outside our usual annual leave allowance. You don't need to own the game to qualify; we respect all lifestyles.

To take the day, let your team know in advance and make sure your work is covered. No screenshots of your gaming setup required.

This is a temporary benefit: the day cannot be carried over or exchanged for cash. If you need more time, our regular [Taking Time Off](https://usehardal.com/handbook/people/taking-time-off) policy still applies. The Los Santos Police Department, sadly, cannot approve an extension.
