Leave of Absence Policy

A Leave of Absence (LOA) policy allows employees to take time off from work for various reasons, such as personal health issues, family emergencies, or education. This policy outlines the procedures for requesting leave, the duration allowed, and whether the leave is paid or unpaid. It ensures that employees can balance their personal needs with work responsibilities while maintaining job security. Employers must adhere to relevant laws, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), which protects certain rights during extended absences. Clear communication and documentation are essential for both employees and employers.
