Navigating employee leave options can be confusing, especially when distinguishing between paid and unpaid leave. At z3n-esom, we believe in making your benefits clear and accessible. This guide will outline key differences, eligibility requirements, and procedures so you’re empowered to make the best decision for your situation.
What is Paid Leave?
Paid leave allows you to take time away from work while continuing to receive your regular salary. Common types of paid leave include annual leave, sick leave, parental leave, and public holidays. It is designed to support your wellbeing without impacting your financial stability.
What is Unpaid Leave?
Unpaid leave is time off without salary payment. Employees may opt for unpaid leave if their paid leave balances are exhausted or for specific personal or professional reasons, such as extended travel, further studies, or caring responsibilities. Approval usually depends on business needs and manager sign-off.
Key Differences and Considerations
- Paid leave counts toward your service and income; unpaid leave does not.
- Eligibility varies by contract, duration of employment, and local law.
- Some benefits might be affected during periods of unpaid leave.
How to Request Leave
- Log into the z3n-esom HR portal.
- Navigate to the ‘Leave’ section.
- Select either ‘paid’ or ‘unpaid’ leave.
- Submit your request and await manager approval.
