leave Application Process
Question | Answer |
---|---|
In situations where the employee knows in advance that he will need a period of medical leave | (e.g. for childbirth, adoption, recuperation from surgery etc.), he should file the request for leave as soon as he knows the dates |
that he will need to be on leave (sometimes the date will be | imprecise, such as with childbirth |
If the employee knows that he will need FMLA leave, | he should give as much notice as possible |
but not less than is required under | the applicable leave plan |
Sometimes emergencies require leave that was not planned | or Anticipated |
When this occurs, the employee should file the application | for leave as soon as it is reasonably possible |
The Certification of Health Care Provider applies | only to leave for the condition specified |
If the employee later requires FMLA for a different purpose | he will need to obtain a separate Certification |
When an employee requests FMLA for a family member’s serious health Condition | he must complete and submit Form WH–380–F, Certification of Health Care Provider |
The employee will not be requested to provide | such an update more often Than every thirty (30) days |
unless his health care provider specifies a more frequent period | or unless there is reason to believe his condition May have changed |
If the condition is described as “lifetime” or “Unknown | a recertification may be requested no more than every six (6) Months |
If the employee must request an additional leave of absence for the same | serious health condition within a 12–month period from the initial acceptance of his Health Care Provider Certification |
he may be required to provide additional documentation | (i.e., recertification) based on the certification he provided previously |
