Leave of Absence Policies

Leave of Absence (LOA) policies refer to the guidelines that allow employees to take time off from work for various reasons without losing their job. Common reasons for requesting an LOA include personal health issues, family emergencies, maternity or paternity leave, or education. These policies outline the process for requesting leave, the duration allowed, benefits during the absence, and job security upon return. Employers must comply with labor laws when creating LOA policies to ensure fairness and support for their employees while maintaining workplace efficiency.
