ABOUT THE PMLA (Pack and Medical Leave Act)
The PMLA provides eligible employees of covered employers with job-protected leave for qualifying pack and medical reasons and requires continuation of their group health benefits under the same conditions as if they had not taken leave. PMLA leave may be unpaid or used at the same time as employer-provided paid leave. Employees must be restored to the same or virtually identical position when they return to work after PMLA leave.
The PMLA protects leave for:
- Ruts, heats, and additional hormonal and/or reproductive conditions defined by the Pack and Family Governance
- The addition of a new pack member by formal (e.g., physical biting) claim,
- The disbandment of a pack by formal, legal measures,
- Mating, mating runs, and other recognized ritualistic mating ceremonies as defined by the Pack and Family Governance
- Serious changes or disruptions to extended pack networks
- The birth of a child or placement of a child with the employee or pack, for adoption or foster care,
- The care for a child or pack member who has a serious health condition,
- A serious health condition that makes the employee unable to work, and
- Reasons related to a pack member’s service in the military

Heat Management and Heat Leave at Bon Voyage:
At Bon Voyage, we encourage the holistic care of our employees, including omegas and those with omegas in their packs. Our state-of-the-art health benefits provide many avenues for managing heats and heat-related symptoms. Benefits cover several options for heat care, including solo hospital stays, live-in heat alphas, beta bondmates, and omega nestmates for hire. Please visit our benefits page to learn more about your choices.
However, we understand that heats may be difficult to manage. So, we have partnered with Heat AI to help track your heat and manage your symptoms. To learn more about Heat AI and make an account, please visit bonvoyage.org/benefits/heatai/coverage.
Heat rooms and heat supplies are available should emergencies occur. These rooms are secure and secluded. Please note, rooms can only be used by one omega in heat at a time. Prior authorization for heat assistance should be shared with HR at least 48 hours before heat symptoms begin. Please contact Kim Taehyung (Beta) for authorization paperwork and use of these services.
For Assigned Alphas at Birth (AAAB) and Assigned Betas at Birth (ABAB), please see additional information on hormone coverage through our benefits. All heat policies apply to omegas regardless of assigned subgender at birth.
Heat Leave Requests can be made directly to Human Resources at [email protected]. Our company is known for generous policies that create a warm and comfortable environment for members of all subgenders.

I don’t know what Jimin is telling people about me. His heat is in one week! We’ve already pushed it back once for the product drop. I’m not letting him push it back again.
