What are the description of the following Japanese company leaves? (交通遮断休暇、予防休暇)


I tried to look for the description of these Japanese company leave but I
can't find any internet site that gives a direct description. (交通遮断休暇, 予防休暇)

I found the meaning of the following words in my electronic dictionary:

  * 交通 = traffic
  * 遮断 = cut-off, shut out
  * 予防 = prevention

From these, I derived the equivalent English terms as:

  * 交通遮断休暇 = Road Blockage Leave
  * 予防休暇 = Preventive Leave

However, I still can't grasp the meaning by just the definition alone. Can you
please give me a description of these company leaves?

Or are these leaves a unique term, created by a specific company, and not used
by all companies?




交通遮断休暇 would refer to a situation where one is unable to report to work due to
a public transport strike. I imagine this is quite unheard of in Japan as it
rarely happens.

I can't offer much explanation for 予防休暇 except that it may be related to a
(possibly self-imposed) abstention from reporting to work to prevent the
spread of infection to the workplace, such as in cases of influenza.
