How long can i be gone for?

I want to take some times off work, like 3 months vacation - no pay. Is this even possible?

    Depends on your employer. They have no legal obligation to hold your job for 3 months for personal leave.

    Many companies would not allow unpaid leave for so long because they would have to hire, train and employ a new person for 3 months, which would cost them.

    You should talk to your HR department or Manager.

    3 months? what makes you think your job can survive being gone that much, if you can take this kind of time away from it apparently it is not a major position or the company will find someone to do the job in your absence

    Depends on your employer. Some employers would allow a leave of absence depending on the reason. So you'll have to ask them.

    ...but it IS possible. People have done it. Your employer just has to agree to it. Otherwise, you'll either need to decide to quit the job or decide not to take the 3 months vacation.

    With almost any employer, you'd have to quit and take your chances on whether they have an opening and want to hire you when you want to come back.

    Up to your company. Most won't agree since they need the work done.

    It completely depends upon the company. Many companies will say no so do not be surprised if you cannot

    Ask HR and find out they may be most sympathetic

    ask if you can take a leave of absence, if they say no, then they won't hold your job
