Leave of Absence

At PG&E, we realize that employees may need to take time off from work for a number of different reasons. Whether it's time off for your own medical needs, to care for a family member, to care for or bond with a new child or in response to a call to military service, PG&E's leave of absence (LOA) policy allows you to take time off and focus on yourself or your family. The content below explains the process you'll need to follow when requesting a LOA—allowing you to easily transition to your leave.

When do you need to follow the leave of absence process?

You must follow the leave process when you're absent from work for any length of time for a reason that's covered under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL), Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), a PG&E company leave or a state leave law.
