When you need time off

If a serious health condition calls you away from work, you may be eligible to take leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). This covers time needed for appointments, treatments and other medical events. FMLA also applies if you need time off work to care for a loved one with a serious health condition. Temporary Disability Pay (TDP) ensures you have income during a short-term disability or illness.
