It could finally be time for Travis Kalanick to take a break.

Uber’s board was considering a three-month leave of absence for Mr. Kalanick, the company’s chief executive, according to people with knowledge of the board’s agenda.

The ride-hailing service’s directors also unanimously voted to adopt all the recommendations made in a report by the former attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr., who led an investigation into the company’s culture

These recommendations include the departure of Emil Michael, senior vice president of business and a close confidant of Mr. Kalanick’s.

Uber’s chief executive had already proposed taking time off after a boating accident that killed his mother and sent his father to hospital.
