1. TEG FMLA Leave Process

2. Request for
FMLA Leave
When possible employees should be formally requesting a FMLA leave 30 days ahead of the scheduled need for the leave. Requests must be provided in writing via a “Leave Request Form” which can be located in ExponentHR.
Qualified FMLA leaves will be for one of the following reasons:
Birth of son or daughter (expected date of delivery)
Placement of child with Employee for adoption or foster care (expected date of placement)
Need to care for spouse, son/daughter, or biological or adoptive parent (not in-laws) with a serious health condition (advise relationship)
Employee has own serious health condition
Service-member care - Employee is the spouse, son/daughter, parent, or next of kin of a covered service-member with a serious injury or illness
Exigency leave - spouse, son/daughter, or parent is on covered active duty or called to active duty status with the Armed Forces

3. FMLA Leave Documents
and Certification
Once an employee completes a Leave Request form, send a copy of that form to:
A copy of this form may also be posted to the employee record in ExponentHR
Please note that you will not need to collect medical certification or make the determination of whether or not the certification provided qualifies under the FMLA legislation.
As Administrators, a member of the TEG FMLA team will request the required medical certification and make the approval or denial determination. Once the determination is made you will be notified of the approval or denial and the appropriate FMLA designation.
