Employee Responsibilities

Employees must provide 30 days advance notice of the need to take FMLA leave when the need is foreseeable. When 30 days notice is not possible, the employee must provide notice as soon as practicable and generally must comply with an employer’s normal call-in procedures.

Employees must provide sufficient information for the employer to determine if the leave may qualify for FMLA protection and the anticipated timing and duration of the leave. Sufficient information may include that the employee is unable to perform job functions, the family member is unable to perform daily activities, the need for hospitalization or continuing treatment by a health care provider, or circumstances supporting the need for military family leave. Employees also must inform the employer if the requested leave is for a reason for which FMLA leave was previously taken or certified.

Employees also may be required to provide a certification and periodic recertification supporting the need for leave.

FMLA를 갖는 employee는 반드시 회사에 ASAP 알려야  하며, 적어도 30일 이전에는 notice를 주는것이 좋습니다.

그리고 전체적으로 얼마나 오랫동안 필요한지 서로 의논하여, leave하는 모든 기간동안 회사의 업무에 지장을 주지 않도록 협조해야 합니다. 예정보다 오래 걸릴 경우에도 늘 긴밀하게 회사와 연락을 취해야 합니다.
