Non-Medical Leave of Absence (NMLOA) On occasion, employees may be unable to work for an extended period of time for such reasons as personal, related family concerns (which may not fall under FMLA coverage) or to pursue formal education. Depending upon all of the circumstances, including our business needs, your job performance, length of service, and the reason for needing the time off, an unpaid non-medical leave of absence of periods of two (2) weeks to six (6) months may be granted, at Venable’s discretion to employees who have satisfied the 90-day introductory period. Venable prohibits employees from engaging in other work, as either an employee or an independent contractor, while on NMLOA. For a leave of absence under the Family and Medical Leave Act, please refer to the Family and Medical Leave section of this handbook. For a leave of absence in order to perform qualifying military service under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), please refer to the Military Leave policy.

A leave of absence under this policy should be requested when:

• You need to request a personal leave of absence (PLOA) for personal or related family concerns. • You need to request an educational leave of absence (ELOA) to pursue a formal education program. Requests for educational leave must be approved prior to enrollment in a course of study.
