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:
“Whate’er we leave to God, God does,
And blesses us;
The work we choose should be our own,
God leaves alone.”

Last of the race of them who grieve
Here leave us to die out with these
Last of the people who believe!

Silent—the best are silent now.”
