long-term leave
Prolonged work hiatus
Long-term leave is an extended absence from work, typically lasting weeks or months rather than days.
It covers situations like medical recovery, parental leave, sabbaticals, or caring for a family member: She took long-term leave after the surgery.
The term distinguishes these absences from ordinary vacation or sick days, often implying formal arrangements with an employer regarding job protection and benefits.
