"sick leave, home leave, medical leave, vacation leave, maternity leave, sabbatical leave"


Explanation:
What kind of "arrêt de travail"?

Cela dépendra du contexte.

- home leave
- sick leave
- maternity leave
- sabbatical leave
- medical leave
- vacation leave etc.


Use each one where appropriate.

Another type is the "voluntary leave" as per following context references:

leave


Explanation:
"Leave" (or, if you like, "work-leave") is the general term.

Under this heading you can have:-

"study leave"; "sick leave"; "long-service leave"; "annual leave"; "maternity leave"; etc.

One of the previous answerers has suggested "stoppage" etc. But I feel that this usually refers to industrial action. For instance in the context of a "stop-work meeting" where workers leave the job temporarily to have a discussion related to an industrial or work place dispute or other issue.

So you need to decide what is appropriate in the context. I.e. if it has to do with industrial action then "stop-work" (as an adjectival phrase) would be correct. But if it refers to time (e.g. days, weeks, months) taken legitimately off a job, either because one is contractually entitlted to it, or because one has a special, recognized need, then the general expression is "leave" which would almost always be qualified in one of the ways I have suggested.
