EMPLOYEE MEDICAL FMLA LEAVE

GUIDELINES FOR SUPERVISIOR:

1. Promptly notify UMD Department of Human Resources of the need for FMLA leave if the employee has not done so already (or if you are unsure whether the employee has done so). HR will send out the required paperwork, copying you and the Departmental Liaison for your area.

2. The Civil Service Personnel Action Document - PDF / WORD document must be completed by the supervisor noting that the leave is a FMLA covered leave and the date of the provisional FMLA letter. The PAD document should be sent to UMD Department of Human Resources, 255 DAdB.

3. Complete the Family and Medical Leave Record. Up to twelve (12) weeks paid/unpaid time is covered under the FMLA every fiscal year.

NOTE: If the employee has a C-section or pre- or post-delivery complications, and provides the appropriate documentation from their doctor (the FMLA certification form), she will be allowed to use sick leave to cover the time the doctor states she is disabled.
