Leave of Absence<\/h1>\n

Supporting you when life takes over.<\/p>\n

Confluent recognizes that circumstances occur from time to time that may require you to take leave from work. A leave of absence is generally defined as any approved absence from work for over a week and for a specific reason, other than flexible time off or sick time.<\/p>\n

Our leave pay policies are outlined below and approval is dependent on medical certification as outlined by FMLA and Confluent\u2019s short-term disability policy.<\/p>\n

Important note:<\/strong> Employees will be directed to apply for all available wage replacement benefits (i.e. short-term disability, state or workers’ compensation benefits, paid family leave, etc.)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
