What the policy says.
- The rule is measured per month, not per week: office-assigned staff spend at least 50% of the month in their local office or with users.
- 'Remote' means living 35+ miles (56 km) from a Stripe office. Stripe does not pay to relocate someone to a remote location.
- Founders said about 30-40% of staff were remote (2023-2024).
- Some teams set specific in-office days.

Working to an office rule? Plan the days that matter.
The hybrid work schedule template builds a week of office days for your team: anchor days everyone shares, the rest spread so the office never overflows. Then Forgot keeps office days, remote days and vacations on one calendar, so nobody commutes in for a planning day half the team is away for.
