Request for Leave Form (continued)



You must provide verbal notice of your need for leave to the designated Risk Management representative at least 30

days (and no more than 45 days) before taking a leave. If you need to take leave because of an unplanned or

emergency situation, you must notify him/her within than one business days after learning of the need for leave.

Failure to give appropriate notice will result in the delay or denial of leave as FMLA leave and could subject

you to corrective action.



You must submit the request for leave form to the designated Risk Management representative within 1-business day.



If the leave is for your own serious health condition, to care for a family member with a serious health condition, or for a

qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that your family member is on active duty or call to active duty status in

support of a contingency operation as a member of the National Guard or Reserves; you must submit sufficient

certification to support your request for FMLA leave. A certification form that sets forth the information necessary to

support your request is enclosed.



Pursuant to the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), Milwaukee County does not request genetic

information from health care providers.



If the leave is for placement of a child, you must submit sufficient documentation to establish the required relationship

between you and your family member.



We will pay your share of the premium payments on your health insurance to maintain health benefits while you are on

unpaid FMLA leave and will recover these payments from you upon your return to work.



Once you have exhausted your state FMLA benefit, you will be required to use your available paid sick, vacation,

holiday, personal time, and overtime during your FMLA leave. This means that you will receive your paid time off, the

time will also be considered protected FMLA leave, and counted against your FMLA leave entitlement.



If you are taking a leave for your own serious health condition, you must submit the fitness for duty certification form

completed by your healthcare provider to the designated Risk Management representative prior to returning to work.

Failure to do so will result in the delay of your return to work, and possibly an unauthorized absence, which may subject

you to corrective action.



If the circumstances of your leave change and you are able to return to work or if leave is taken intermittently

and you are able to return to your regular schedule earlier than the date indicated on the medical certification

of health care provider form, you are required to notify the designated HR representative at least two business

days prior to the date you intend to report for work or to return to a regular schedule.



You have a right under the federal FMLA for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period calculated as the

calendar year (January – December) and you have a right under state FMLA for up to two weeks of unpaid leave (six

weeks for bonding leave) - Both federal and state FMLA benefits are run concurrent with each other and also any Civil

Service Rule VIII leave entitlement.



You have a right under the FMLA for up to 26 weeks of unpaid leave in a single 12-month period to care for a covered

servicemember with a serious injury or illness. This single 12-month period commenced on the first day of the leave of

absence.



Your health benefits must be maintained during any period of unpaid leave under the same conditions as if you

continued to work.



You must be reinstated to the same or an equivalent job with the same pay, benefits, and terms and conditions of

employment on your return from FMLA-protected leave.

(If your leave extends beyond the end of your FMLA

entitlement, you do not have return rights under FMLA.)



If you do not return to work following FMLA leave for a reason other than: 1) the continuation, recurrence, or onset of a

serious health condition which would entitle you to FMLA leave; 2) the continuation, recurrence, or onset of a covered

servicemember’s serious injury or illness which would entitle you to FMLA leave; or 3) other circumstances beyond your

control, you may be required to reimburse Milwaukee County for our share of health insurance premiums paid on your

behalf during your FMLA leave.



Once we obtain the information from you as specified above, we will inform you, within five business days, whether your

leave will be designated as FMLA leave and count towards your FMLA leave entitlement.

By signing below, you acknowledge and understand the conditions required of you during a leave of absence.
