Requesting a Leave of Absence is the process by which an employee requests and receives permission to take a break from their job for an extended period of time. This can vary depending on the employer, but typically it involves submitting a formal request — either verbally or in writing — as well as following any stipulated leave policies. It’s important that employers handle these requests fairly and promptly in order to ensure good morale and maintain healthy relationships with their employees. Taking a Leave of Absence is a great opportunity to recharge, regroup, and come back to work feeling refreshed and motivated. So don’t hesitate to ask your employer today!
