Under certain circumstances, Outfitters who are not eligible for any other company leave of absence and/or have exhausted all other leave entitlements may be granted a personal leave of absence without pay. A request for personal leave should be presented to the Outfitter’s manager or HR Representative at least 2 weeks before the requested start of the leave, unless in cases of emergency.
Typically, personal leaves of absence are granted for a period of up to 30 days. A personal leave of absence is not granted automatically. Requests are considered based on staffing requirements and the reasons for the requested leave, as well as Outfitter’s performance and attendance records.
Under unusual circumstances, personal leave may be extended provided that a written request for an extension is made before the expiration of the leave, and the request is granted. Outfitters requesting to extend a previously granted personal leave must contact Human Resources immediately and must be approved.
Please note that personal leave should never be taken for a personal health condition. Should this be the situation, the Outfitter should contact Voya.
How to apply
Complete the following steps to apply for Bass Pro personal leave:

- Go to Workday home screen> click on the Absence icon> Request Absence> Select and Enter the Date Range, and choose Personal Leave.
- If approved, an HR Benefit and Leave Specialist will provide support and employee cost of benefits (premium payments). They can assist you with any benefit questions you may have.
ready to return?
Complete the following steps to return from a leave of absence
- Contact HR Benefits at 800-672-3170 one week in advance of your expected return date.
- HR Benefits will notify your location’s HR Representative and/or supervisor of your date of return and you will contact your supervisor who will work with you directly on your schedule.
Upon completion of a personal leave of absence, the company will make every effort to reinstate you to the position you held at the start of the leave. However, sometimes a permanent new Outfitter must be hired in your place. In that case, when you return, we will attempt to place you in an available opening as close to your former position as possible, subject to prevailing business considerations.
