Respondents also reported the reason for why the needed to take leave, but did not, such as own illness/medical care (see NOTKLVMOSELF), illness/medical care of another family (see NOTKLVMOFAM), eldercare (see NOTKLVMOELCARE), childcare (see NOTKLVMOCHCARE), vacation (see NOTKLVMOVAC), errands/personal reasons (see NOTKLVMOPERS), errands or other personal reasons (see NOTKLVMOPERS) or other (see NOTKLVMOOTH).
