Leaves: Medical, Parental, Personal & Military

Leave options for medical, family, personal and military responsibilities.

When you need to be away from work for personal reasons, to welcome a child, perform military service or deal with family health issues, Key provides leave of absence benefits and support before, during and after your leave.

The chart below summarizes the types of leave available to Key employees. It is important to note that more than one type of leave may apply to an individual’s situation, and some leaves may run concurrently.
