Leave of Absence Types

Covered Florida employers already know that in certain situations, employees are allowed legally protected leaves of absence from work. A variety of laws govern leaves of absence for reasons related to disability, pregnancy, family and medical leaves of absence, and workers’ compensation. Failure to properly handle leaves of absence can put Florida businesses at risk for a lawsuit because leaves of absence entitlements can create tricky legal questions that may include:

• How long is the leave of absence?
  
• Is the leave paid or unpaid?
  
• Should multiple leaves of absence run concurrently or consecutively?
  
• Will the job be held open until the employee returns?
  

Because Florida employers have exposure to mistakes, the Law Office of David Miklas, P.A. can help and we encourage Florida employers to reach out to us before they set up a plan or take negative employment action.
