Do I have to give an employee a personal leave of absence?
HRCalifornia
Employers are not required to provide time off for employees wishing to take leaves of absence for personal reasons. However, when an employee requests a personal leave, an employer who is covered by family and medical leave laws should always inquire further about the reason for the leave to determine whether it would qualify as family leave (for example, leave to care for an ill parent).
