Medical Leave

Medical leave refers to a period of time that an employee is allowed to take off work due to health issues, either for their own medical needs or to care for a family member. This leave can be paid or unpaid, depending on the employer's policies and local laws. It is typically intended for serious health conditions, surgeries, or recovery periods. Medical leave helps employees prioritize their health without the stress of losing their job, ensuring they have the time needed to recuperate and return to work when they are ready.
