Family Medical Leave

• Employees who are seeking to go out on FML are required to submit a WH-380 FMLA certification form to Human Talent within 15 working days of your first day out. Failure to provide a complete and sufficient medical certification within 15 working days may result in a delay or denial of your FMLA request.
• The employee is to immediately review Board Policy DEC (Legal) and DEC (Local) in the Employee Handbook for further information regarding leave taken using the Family and Medical Leave Act.
• The employee should also immediately review the campus/facility poster “Employee Rights and Responsibilities under the Family and Medical Leave Act”. Contact your campus principal or department director if you cannot locate the posting.
• An employee out on FML is to immediately notify Human Talent of any changes.
• An employee seeking to return to work after a leave because of his or her own serious illness or the birth of a child must provide Human Talent with a medical release from their health care provider no sooner than 15 days and no less than 2 working days prior to returning to work.
• The employee will not be permitted to return to work without express prior approval from Human Talent. Human Talent will review the physician's medical release and contact the employee's supervisor concerning the employee's eligibility to return to work.
• If the employee does not notify Human Talent within 3 working days prior to returning to work they may be requested to return home.
