# Long-Term Leave Request

> Request an extended leave of absence, such as military or unpaid leave, with the leave category and expected start and return dates.

A Long-Term Leave request asks for an extended leave of absence, such as military leave or unpaid leave, that goes beyond a regular leave request. After you submit it, the request follows the configured approval workflow before being approved, rejected, or returned for revision.
