Yes, in the U.S. eligible employees may take time off from work in a job-protected leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Also, some states have enacted their own statutes regarding leaves such as the California Family Rights Act or Paid Family Leave.

Under the FMLA (which is a federal statute) employees who have worked for at least 12 months and at least 1,250 hours whose employer employs 50 or more employees within 75 miles of the worksite may be allowed to take a leave of up to 12 work weeks in any 12 month period for the birth or adoption of a child, take care of a sick family member, or if the employee has a serious health condition.

How does medical leave of absence work?

A medical leave of absence allows employees to take time off work for health-related issues without risking their job security. Typically, employees must notify their employer and provide documentation from a healthcare provider to validate the need for leave. The duration and terms of the leave can vary based on company policy and applicable laws, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) in the U.S., which provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for eligible employees. During this time, employees may retain their health benefits, but pay may not be guaranteed unless specified by the employer's policies.
