When is the right time to ask about benefits, work hours and vacations during the interview process?
Short and sweet. Wait until they make an offer or ask you first
You want to get deep into the interview process before opening up the discussion on items you mentioned. Most important, focus on your skills, abilities and interest to put yourself in a position to get an offer.
While interviewing, it is fair to ask questions about the work environment and culture. You can ask in the area of expectations for the staff.
Lastly, the details of compensation, benefits and vacation days are provided with the offer. Thus, you won't have to ask, as it is only relevant when you have a job offer.
