Leaves of Absence

At Albertsons, we understand you may need time off work for certain life events, like the birth or adoption of a child, your own or a family member’s medical condition, a call to active military duty and more. Generally, the leave of absence process works the same way for all associates. However, certain aspects of a leave of absence for associates represented by a union are governed by the union’s collective bargaining agreement and may differ from the leaves of absence described on this website.

Before requesting a leave of absence, review the information below to understand the types of leave available, how the different leaves of absence work, and your responsibilities during the leave process.
