disability leave

Impairment-related time off

Disability leave is time off from work granted to an employee who cannot perform their job duties due to illness, injury, or a medical condition.

It may be paid or unpaid depending on employer policy and applicable laws.

Short-term disability leave typically covers temporary conditions, while long-term disability leave addresses extended or permanent impairments: She took disability leave after her surgery.
