Which type of leave allows for a member to take time off for medical-related recovery?

Convalescent Leave is specifically designed to allow members to take time off for recovery after a medical issue, such as surgery or a serious illness. This type of leave focuses on providing the necessary time for a person to heal and recuperate without the pressures of work obligations. It is recognized as a distinct category because recovery often requires rest and rehabilitation that may not be adequately addressed by other types of leave.

Other options, while recognized forms of leave, serve different purposes. Emergency Leave is typically for urgent, unforeseen situations. Annual Leave is generally planned leave that employees may use for vacations or personal time rather than specifically for medical recovery. Terminal Leave relates to the time off an employee takes at the end of their service or employment before official retirement, and it is not intended for recovery purposes. Thus, Convalescent Leave is the appropriate choice for medical-related recovery.
