Medical Leave A Medical Leave of up to 12 weeks is available if you have a serious health condition and as a result are unable to perform the functions of your job or if you need to care for a spouse, qualified domestic partner, child, or parent who has a serious health condition. If you take a medical leave as a result of your own serious illness, you are eligible for short-term disability benefits during the period of your leave. Absence A leave of absence of 31 to 90 days for personal reasons is available to you with permission, depending upon the staffing needs of your department. If you are a military reservist and are called to active duty, you will be granted an unpaid leave to fulfill these requirements. If you are required to participate in two weeks annual military training, you will be paid the difference between your regular salary and pay received for reserve training.
