Private absence days
Personal leave is time off from work for private matters that don't fit neatly into other categories like vacation or sick days.
Employers grant personal leave for appointments, family obligations, mental health, or situations employees prefer not to explain: I'm taking a personal day to deal with some things at home.
The term emphasizes that the reason is the employee's own business.
