I want to request voluntary leave of absence
After one year with the company you can request voluntary leave (excedencia) of four months to five years.
Requirements and length
One year at the company; between four months and five years.
«El trabajador con al menos una antigüedad en la empresa de un año tiene derecho a que se le reconozca la posibilidad de situarse en excedencia voluntaria por un plazo no menor a cuatro meses y no mayor a cinco años.»
To do it again
Four years must pass since the end of the previous one.
«Este derecho solo podrá ser ejercitado otra vez por el mismo trabajador si han transcurrido cuatro años desde el final de la anterior excedencia voluntaria.»
