I am sure this falls under the Family and Medical Leave Act we have here in the US. (Known as FMLA) FMLA qualifies people for up to 12 weeks unpaid time off and still holds their job. This may be combined with paid vacation days, sick leave, personal days- all at an employers discretion. Some places also have paid time off banks where employees can donate their unused paid time off for others in crisis to use if needed.
I’d say they can still safely take a few more months off work to search, which is heartbreaking if it takes this long to find her.
I do think Mondays press conference is going to most likely be a big announcement, such as an arrest. MOO they are waiting on a dna test confirmation and may possibly announce an arrest.
FMLA applies to all public agencies, all public and private elementary and secondary schools, and companies with 50 or more employees

I do hope that under the circumstances, the family can take off as much time as they need. Some smaller sized employers do allow time off without pay. May compassion rule.
