FMLA Trouble?

If you have recently attempted to apply for leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), your physician may not have been aware of the need to be completely thorough about making sure you have the time you need to recover or for treatment, or to care for a family member. Chapter 32 has a new tool, a letter you can take to the doctors to instruct them as to what you need to be granted for the time involved. This instruction will assure that the medical professional puts the correct amount of time you'll need, and keep the agency from the possibility of charging you AWOL for any time not covered by the FMLA certificate. Chapter 32 recommends that you talk to us if you are applying for FMLA coverage. NTEU is ready to help, and make sure your rights are insured. See your Steward of the Chapter 32 office today.
