If you need to be away from work due to illness or hospitalization for longer than two weeks, you can take Hospitalization Leave – Full Pay, for which you have 30 days. Once you have exhausted Hospitalization Leave – Full Pay, you can use your Hospitalization Leave – 70% Pay.

Review this article in the Support Center (SSO) for more information on how to apply for hospitalization leave. Then, submit your leave request through Workday.
