It all depends on the policy of your company and your reasons. I did take 2 months hiatus from work , but I had a compelling reason.

Yeah it's up to your employer's policy regarding leave of absence.

stress or emotional problems, pregnancy, death in the family, shit like that.

1) use vacatino days
2) use unpaid if you need extra days for your vacation
3) if exhausted vacation days - ask for 1 or 2 unpaid now and then
4) for a long leave of absence - has to be a compelling reason. since the business side may be affected by your absense.

order of skipping work.

I took a leave of absence of 30 days while working for the last company i worked for, it was to go to rehab though, but I didn't tell them that, the only people who knew was my insurance company, and they have to keep that sh-t confidential,

Whats considered a compelling reason

-any mental illness that requires extensive psychotherapy

Depends on the rules of the company.....also depends on the reason - pregnancy would be covered under FMLA for example.....

Usually you have to use up all accumulated sick & vacation time, then maybe short term disability then long term....then unpaid....
