Leaves of Absence & Accommodations

The Renton School District supports employees who may need an extended time off from work or an accommodation in the workplace due to medical or non-medical reasons. 

Medical Leave

non-medical leave

Renton School District employees who need to take an extended leave of absence that is NOT related to their own personal or member of their family's medical condition, can submit a request for a non-medical leave of absence.

Reasonable accommodations 

Employees who believe that a medical condition is affecting their ability to perform their job may want to begin the process of requesting an accommodation. Accommodations are provided on an individual basis and created in collaboration with the requesting employee and appropriate District personnel.

workplace injury and workers compensation 

Washington State Department of Labor & Industries workers' compensation program pays for medical care directly related to your accident or illness. If you are unable to work following your injury, you may be eligible for a portion of your lost wages. If you are injured at work, there are two very important things to do immediately: seek medical treatment and notify your employer.
