You are on your own as far as lost wages if you miss work, but most enlightened employers cover this time off with sick leave and vacation pay. Alternatively, you might qualify for unpaid leave. U.S. employees may qualify for special leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Some progressive employers, such as United Network for Organ Sharing and some state governments, have arranged for paid leave specifically for living donors. Talk to your employer about the types of time-off benefits available to you. Additional information can be found: livingdonorsonline.org
