While mandatory leaves are required by law, voluntary unpaid leaves are completely up to employer discretion and do not offer job protection to their employees. There are many reasons that an employee may request a leave of absence according to the FMLA. These laws ensure that your employee will have job protection while on leave. Federal and state governments regulate mandatory leaves through the Family and Medical Leave Act, the American Disabilities Act, and now the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Act (EFMLA). Unlike paid time off, which includes vacation and sick days, a leave of absence is an option for employees dealing with unusual circumstances - such as a serious medical emergency or a new child.Ī leave of absence can be mandatory or voluntary, paid or unpaid.
