Common use of Immediate Family Member Approval Clause in Contracts

Immediate Family Member Approval. The employee must first obtain verbal approval of the supervisor or department director before family member medical leave absence. The supervisor and department director will determine approval of the employee’s paid leave for family member illness at the time they process the employee’s payroll timecard. The department director may require follow up written verification from the family member’s health care provider of any paid leave for family member illness. If required, the health care provider’s written verification will verify that the immediate family member has an illness that requires the employee’s attendance. The supervisor may require alternative scheduling of non-emergency requests by the employee for particular times of paid leave for family member illness.
