What Does LWOP Stand For?

LWOP stands for Leave Without Pay

LWOP, or Leave Without Pay, refers to a period during which an employee is permitted to take time off from work without receiving their regular salary. This leave is typically granted for various personal reasons, such as extended illness, family emergencies, or personal development, and is usually subject to the organization's policies and approval process. During LWOP, employees may retain certain benefits, but must be aware that their absence can affect their pay and job status.
