When you need time away from work for significant life events such as the birth of a child, caring for an injured family member, or managing a serious health condition, FBM is here to support you. Our Leave of Absence (LOA) program, administered by Voya Leave Management, provides a concierge service that makes the LOA process simple and stress-free—to help you focus on what matters most.
To participate in the leave program, you must request a leave of absence and obtain approval 30 days in advance, if possible. Use the links below to get started.
