Leave of Absence
Federal (FMLA) and state (OFLA) law requires that employers provide eligible employees with job protected time off work for their own serious health condition, to care for an eligible family member with a serious health condition, to bond with their newborn, adopt or foster a child, bereavement, military family leave.
Leave may be taken all at once or intermittently as the medical condition requires. The leave laws define who is eligible, what absences qualify, and how much leave time you may take during the leave year. Your health insurance benefits are protected and will be continued while you are on FMLA/OFLA leave.
