Common use of Notification and Reporting Requirements Clause in Contracts

Notification and Reporting Requirements. When the need for FMLA leave is foreseeable, such as the birth or adoption of a child, or planned medical treatment, the employee must provide reasonable prior notice, and make efforts to schedule leave so as not to disrupt Town operations. In cases of illness, the employee will be required to report periodically on his or her FMLA leave status and intention to return to work. At the expiration of any FMLA leave due to the employee's own illness, the employee must present a written authorization from his/her doctor stating that the employee is ready to return to work. The parties agree that there are circumstances (sickness/injury of employee or family member) which may preclude the employee's ability to provide notice as herein described. Should such a case arise, the employee's request for FMLA usage will not be denied solely for failure to follow the notification procedures referred to herein.
