Leave
The Labor Standards Act prescribes minimum periods of paid annual leave based on an employee's seniority. 10 days of annual leave must be allowed following the employee's first 6 months of service. The minimum amount of annual leave increases each year thereafter following a fixed schedule (as per the contract).
Several forms of unpaid leave are also provided by law, including maternity leave, child care leave, family care leave and nursing leave.

Famous quotes containing the word leave:
“I leave before being left. I decide.”

“Consul. In American politics, a person who having failed to secure an office from the people is given one by the Administration on condition that he leave the country.”

“Take the instant way,
For honor travels in a strait so narrow,
Where one but goes abreast. Keep then the path,
For emulation hath a thousand sons
That one by one pursue. If you give way,
Or hedge aside from the direct forthright,
Like to an entered tide, they all rush by
And leave you hindmost.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
