Work and Life Balance
Leaves of Absence
Taking extended time away from work—whether for health or family needs, service to our nation or some other reason—can raise a lot of questions. Cision has assembled resources to help you understand leaves of absence and guide you through the steps to take before, during and after your leave. Click the links below to jump to that section on this page.
Medical Leaves
Medical Leave
You can take a medical leave if you need to take time off for longer than five business days due to your own serious health condition, including pregnancy and postpartum recovery. You must be a regular full-time employee who meets the eligibility requirements for short-term disability (STD) benefits. You’ll need to provide medical documentation of your need for leave.
Parental Bonding Leave
If you’ve recently become a new parent, you can take time off after your child’s birth, adoption or foster care placement. You must be a regular full-time employee, and you’ll need to provide proof of your child’s birth or placement.
Organ or Bone Marrow Donation Leave
You can take time off to donate an organ or bone marrow. You’ll need to provide medical documentation of your need for leave.
Military Leaves
Military Leave
You can take a military leave if you’re called for active duty or reserve training for any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, in accordance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and any applicable state laws.
Military Family Leave
You can take a military family leave if you are a regular full-time employee and need time off to address exigencies that arise when an immediate family member is on active duty or has been notified of an impending call to active duty in a foreign country, or to care for an immediate family member or next of kin who sustained or aggravated a serious injury or illness in the line of duty.
Unpaid Personal Leaves
Unpaid Personal Leave
If you want to take time away from Cision for personal reasons, you may request an unpaid personal leave. You are eligible if you’ve worked at Cision for more than 12 months, you’re in good standing with the company, and the business can accommodate your request. You also must have exhausted your accrued paid time off balance, and there is no other time off plan you can leverage.
