Leave and Absences
Annual leave and sick leave are among the most common reasons for employee absence from work.
Other reasons for absence may be parenthood or compassionate leave, study or sabbatical leave, as well as completion of national service. Several pieces of employment legislation and collective bargaining agreements regulate employee leave and absence. In addition, the employer and employee can always agree on unpaid leave.
