The LEAVE GUY

FMLA Process Guidance

Scared to even ask for
medical leave?

You need the time off. But you keep putting off the conversation because you don't know what happens after you say it out loud. Take a breath. People take protected leave every day and keep their jobs. The difference is knowing the process before you start it.

Who You're Hearing From

I've sat on the employer's side of the desk.

ADP  ·  Home Depot  ·  Genuine Parts Company  ·  Reef Technology

For more than 10 years, I managed FMLA and workplace leave from the inside at some of the largest employers in the country. I applied the policies, processed the paperwork, and watched good employees lose jobs they could have kept, simply because nobody explained the process to them.

I know what HR checks, what they get wrong,
and what they hope you never ask about.
