compassionate leave

Compassionate leave is a type of time off granted to employees to help them manage personal or family emergencies, such as the loss of a loved one, severe illness, or other urgent personal matters. It allows employees to take necessary time away from work to cope with these difficult situations without risking their employment or income continuity. The duration and specific conditions of compassionate leave vary depending on company policies and local laws, but its primary purpose is to provide support during challenging personal circumstances, ensuring employees can focus on their well-being and family needs.
