personal leave
Personal leave (also known as sick leave) is paid leave that an employee is entitled to when they are unable to work due to illness or injury.
Personal leave, or sick leave, is a provision that allows employees to take time off with pay when they are unwell or injured. This ensures that employees do not have to choose between their health and their income. The specifics, like how much leave is available and how it accumulates, are usually detailed in employment contracts or awards.
