Employment Leave

Life happens. When health challenges arise, taking the time to care for yourself isn't just important for you, it's essential for the work we all do together. Our goal is to support our team members in getting the accommodations they need for medical care, recovery, and healing so they can be healthy, fit, and ready to serve our community, whether it's through time off, ergonomic adjustments, flexible schedules, or other accommodations, we will work with you and your manager to determine what's best for you and your team.

This page provides information about the medical leave options available to Hood River County employees including the programs, policies, and resources designed to help you navigate leave when it's needed. While medical leave processes can sometimes feel complicated and overwhelming, our intention is to make them as clear and supportive as possible so you can focus on your well-being and recovery in order to return to the meaningful work of serving our neighbors and strengthening our community.
