[MCOH-EH] Discretionary LOAs and Sabbaticals

[Angeli Mancuso]

Does anyone have a Discretionary LOA policy and/or Sabbatical policy for their hospital employees? We have requests for time off for lengths of time longer than usual PTO—longer than 2-3 weeks—for reasons not covered by any federal or state LOA law (like medical).

How do you all handle this? If you have a policy, would you mind sharing?

Recent requests have been:

1)      1 month to travel to the Maldives with family

2)      9 months for an assignment with Doctors without Borders

3)      6 weeks to complete a Women’s Empowerment Certification

4)      4 months to focus on writing a Masters’ thesis


Be well,
Angeli
