A Medical Leave of Absence is a legal agreement in the field of human resources that allows workers to take time from work for medical reasons while preserving job security and, in certain situations, continuous remuneration. This leave is often offered to employees who have major health ailments, injuries, surgeries, or other medical situations that need their absence from work.
Example
If an employee is diagnosed with a severe disease and requires treatment, they may request a Medical Leave of Absence. During this time, the employee's position is safeguarded, and they may earn a portion of their compensation according on corporate policy or legal rules, depending on the length and conditions of the leave.
