English term

leave without pay

GBK English to Chinese Bus/Financial Human Resources
Definition from U.S. Department of the Interior:
Leave Without Pay is a temporary non-pay status and absence from duty that, in most cases, is granted upon an employee’s request.
Example sentences:
Even though the leave is unpaid, there may still be additional costs that managers need to consider in terms of recruiting staff to back-fill employees who are accessing leave without pay for long periods. (The State of Queensland)
Leave without pay granted for medical reasons, leave granted for child bearing, and work-incurred disability may require written certification from the employee's health-care provider. (University of California)
Employees may also request to take leave without pay, depending on their personal situation. In jobs that don’t include vacation time or sick leave, an employee may take leave without pay as a way to travel or if they are unable to go to work. (WiseGEEK)

Jyuan-US: You are right, it be En to Zh, actually:-), but please kindly note: Leave Without Pay is a **temporary** non-pay status and *absence from duty*..., it can be either of long or short term, no?
jyuan_us Dec 14, 2009:
這個應該是英譯漢﹐ 其具體含義應該是請假相當長的一段時間﹐因此停薪留職似更恰當。應遵循原文意思﹐而不能比照譯入語國家的情況。
Adsion Liu Dec 14, 2009:
注意：在中國大陸，好多企業的事假是沒有薪水的，請查證。我在上海做過的台灣公司和民營企業，事假一律沒有錢拿...並且准不准是另一回事兒。注意：Leave Without Pay is a *temporary* non-pay status and *absence from duty*...
jyuan_us Dec 14, 2009:
這個應該指留职停薪 離開僅僅幾天的休假應該都是有薪水的﹐所以對應的應該不是這個英文詞組。
Adsion Liu Dec 11, 2009:
All depends In Mainland China, if it's only concerned one day, for example, leave for personal affairs, it would be "无薪假", "事假" exactly and included, but if for several years of leave, it'd be "停薪留职". Plz kindly see my answer below for details...

Peer comment(s):
agree Francis Fine : 留职停薪 has been in wide use for decades. 无给休假，无薪假期 are also used, esp. when the period (length) of leave is pre-determined.
