Leave of Absence Policies
A leave of absence may be granted if you need time away from work due to illness, personal emergency or other compelling personal matter. If one of these circumstances requires you to be away from work for an extended amount of time, you must be placed on leave of absence.
Overview
During your leave, your employment status will not change and you will retain eligibility for benefits (if applicable) for up to 180 days.
A number of factors will be taken into consideration when approving the leave including:
- Your eligibility as outlined in the Target guidelines
- The leave type requested
- The reason for the request
- The effect the leave will have on work requirements and staffing in your department
Please work with your HR team or leader to determine if you are eligible for a leave and the type of leave that best fits your needs.
Leave status begins when you are away from work on the:
- Third scheduled day for distribution and headquarters nonexempt team members
- Eighth calendar day for distribution and headquarters exempt team members and all store team members
Note: These are guidelines only. Depending on the reason for the leave, it may begin on the first day you miss work.
You should contact the Target Leave and Disability team at the beginning of your leave if it is anticipated that it will be longer than three days for distribution and headquarters nonexempt team members or eight days for all other team members.
School is up to 1 year.
