how much unpaid leave are you entitled to at work?

Answer 1

If it is for maternity leave, according to law (FMLA) they have to hold your position for ninety days from the day you decide to take the leave, if you have worked a total of 1200 hours in the last 12 months. The twelve months does not start in January unless you start the leave in January. If you take the leave in October 20, 2006 then they will go back to Oct 20, 2005 and calculate the number of hours you have worked. This can be paid or unpaid depending on how much vacation, sick, or PTO time you have accumulated. As for a leave of absence unpaid, the employer does not have to hold your job legally. Technically they could hire your job if they wanted to. Most of the time the company will hold the job if the leave is not too long. I knew someone that was on leave for over a year and a half. She was sick and was trying to get disability and was unable to work. I think it will depend on your situation. I would talk to human resources about this and see what they think. WORD OF WARNING: I had this happen to me. I was talking to HR about the leave and they asked when I would be returning (maternity leave) and I told them it would be 4 months. They then proceeded to call every few weeks and try to scare me into coming back by saying things like, do you think your boss will hold your position? and don't you think you should come back earlier? and sorry we can't give you any information about how much your raise will be until you return to work, will that be soon? They would not even give me my raise until I returned to work. The catch was this: I was only paid for 8 weeks of my leave. They didn't have to hold my job from the start because I didn't work the required number of hours required for the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to protect my job. I only work part time. I can only imagine what they said to other people. To beat it all, I work for a hospital!! How's that for a boot in the tail?!?!?!?!?!!?

It depends on the reason. If it is because of a medical problem in the family, you can take up to 12 weeks. But that is only with a documented medical condition. Other than that, you can take as much or as little as your boss wants to give you.
