The paid and unpaid leaves of absence in U.S.
美国的带薪休假和无薪休假


In the U.S., requirements regarding leaves of absence vary from state to state and some leaves of absence are required by Federal laws.
美国的休假规定因州而异，有些休假是由联邦法律规定的。
Bereavement time is an example of a leave of absence during which employers pay the employee for a certain number of days and then, the employee can extend the time away from work by applying for an unpaid leave.
丧假就是带薪休假的典型例子。丧假期间雇员可以享受一定天数的带薪休假，然后可以申请无薪休假延长假期。
Jury duty is another example of a paid leave of absence that is required by law in most jurisdictions, although the employer may set policies about how long they are willing to pay the employee’s salary for an extended trial.
陪审义务假期是另一种带薪休假。尽管多数司法管辖区域法律都规定了陪审义务假期，但是雇主可以规定审判延长后员工可继续享受的带薪休假天数。
Employees might want to take unpaid leaves of absence in the following cases: Caring for a sick family member who is not a member of their immediate family, obtaining medical treatment in another country, an extended visit to an employee’s home country to see family, extra time for parental leave past the 12 weeks that are allotted by the Family and Medical Leave Act, and time away from work to deal with the estate of a loved one.
雇员遇到以下几种情况时，可能会申请无薪休假：照顾生病的非直系亲属，国外接受医学治疗， 延长回国探亲假，延长《家庭和医疗休假法案》（美国）规定的12周产假， 处理亲属的遗产。
