Here’s a quick reminder of your Sick Leave Board Policy

Just a quick reminder that according to your Board Policy #5401, if you are requesting an absence of more than five days, a doctor’s note could be required before you can return to work.  In the case of any type of absence of more than five days, a paper absence form in addition to your AESOP absence request should be filled out at your building and sent to HR for approval.  Thanks for your help in making sure your HR department is aware of your absence needs.

Would you like to know more about your Family Medical Leave Rights?

In some of your absence instances, you may qualify for FMLA. Board Policy #5404 details the types of leave that may qualify for FMLA. If you would like to know more about your rights to FMLA, we have provided a link to the United States Department of Labor fact sheet page for your perusal.  In the case of an absence that qualifies for FMLA,  if you have filled out an absence request form, your HR department will send you a letter with your rights to FMLA that details what this means to you.
