You may want to speak to your agency's HR Department first. If it's a health related leave like disability, maternity, etc. They may be able to excuse you with pay or partial pay. If a longer absence it will be unpaid and your union representation may have to negotiate terms on your behalf with supporting documentation and estimate leave and return dates. Be careful that it's not because you want to try working at another place because you will be terminated, lose all your benefits and may have to face investigations, DOI and possible charges and fines.
