The Recharge Break Program gives you flexibility to support your unique work and life. With Recharge Break, you can take from 6 to 12 weeks of paid time away from work to use when and how it works best for you.
In 2024, you may be able to take a Recharge Break if you have enough time banked and you’ve been contributing or holding a recharge break balance since 2021. If you decide to take your Recharge Break in 2024, make your request at least 90 days ahead of your break whenever possible (but not less than 45 days). Starting in October 2023 you can make your request through a ticket at support@Schneider. Make sure you discuss your request with your manager before submitting your request.
Not ready for your Recharge Break in 2024?
- If you’re eligible for a 2024 Recharge Break but want to take it at a later date: You can continue to purchase weeks to grow your balance or hold your balance to take your Recharge Break in a later year.
- If you’d like to start or continue participating in the Recharge Break Program: You can elect to pay for 1 or 2 Recharge Break Weeks during Annual Enrollment. When you have enough time banked and have held your bank for 3 years, you can take time away from work when it works best for you. When you take your Recharge Break, Schneider Electric covers the cost of some of those Recharge Days depending on how long you’ve worked for the Company
Cost for a Recharge Day
Each elected Recharge Day is equivalent to eight hours and is withheld from your wages on a pre-tax basis. If your rate of pay increases (or decreases) during the year, your payroll deductions will be adjusted accordingly.
