We understand that life happens – not always at convenient times. Employees wishing to take time off for non-medical, non-disability, and/or non-military service reasons, in addition to paid time off, may request an unpaid and non-job protected personal leave of absence for up to a maximum of 30 calendar days in any 12-month period. Employees whose request to take a personal leave of absence is approved, must exhaust all available paid time off (PTO) concurrently with LOA. To be eligible for consideration to take an unpaid, personal leave of absence, you must be: • A full-time employee; and • Employed by the Company for at least six consecutive months. A personal leave needs to be approved by the manager, VP of the department, and Human Resources Representative prior to taking the leave. Approval of a personal leave of absence is not guaranteed, and the Company reserves the right to grant or deny any requests for a personal leave at its sole discretion. Please refer to the Leave of Absence Policy (https://www.loandepotlivewell.com/_files/ugd/f0b206_18d6ccd4b9b64d8cb6c15c4b543de562.pdf)for more information about personal leaves of absence.
