EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Employee acknowledges that:
- Submission of this form is a request for review only.
- No leave of absence, modified work schedule, workplace accommodation, intermittent or reduced schedule, extension of leave, or return to work restriction is approved unless confirmed in writing by Human Resources or otherwise required by applicable law.
- The Employee must continue to comply with Company attendance, scheduling, and work expectations until an applicable legally protected leave begins or Human Resources provides written approval of a change.
- A healthcare provider's recommendation, certification, or other medical documentation does not independently authorize the Employee to stop working, modify their work schedule, extend an absence, or work under restrictions.
- Requests submitted without sufficient advance notice may impact the Company's ability to evaluate and administer the request, except where advance notice is not reasonably practicable or otherwise required by applicable law.
- Employees are expected to provide notice as soon as practicable for foreseeable medical leave or accommodation requests.
- The Company may engage in an interactive process and may require additional, updated, or clarified documentation before making a determination.
- PTO, discretionary time off, sick leave, floating holidays, or other Company provided paid time off may not be used to extend, bridge, or supplement time immediately before or after an approved leave period, except where required by applicable law or expressly approved in writing by HR and Executive Leadership.
- Employees are expected to return to work on their approved return date. Failure to return to work for two consecutive scheduled workdays following the approved return date, without a legally protected absence or written Company approved extension, will be handled under the Company's Job Abandonment and Voluntary Resignation Policy and may be treated as a voluntary resignation.
