Treating Arrests as Personal Leaves

In dealing with arrests or incarcerations of employees, one option is to have a general policy that allows employees to take personal leave without pay for a justified cause. This is probably a more useful way to address the situation, especially if you have few employees and do not expect this type of problem to occur with regularity.

Here is an example of a generic personal leave policy (note that this is not the same as sick time, vacation time, or other kinds of time away from work).

Example

ABC Company may grant you an unpaid personal leave of absence of up to six months for a justified reason. Justification will be determined by ABC Company.
