What paperwork does a faculty member need to fill out in order to initiate a family leave?
To initiate a family leave the faculty member must: » Write a memo to their department chair requesting family leave under the FMFL policy. » In the memo, the faculty member should provide a start date and an end date for the leave that is consistent with the FMFL policy. » For leave to care for an ill family member, in addition to writing the memo, faculty members must have their family member’s physician fill out a Certification of Physician or Practitioner form. This form and the FMFL policy are available online at http://www.pitt.edu/HOME/PP/policies/02/02-11-01.html, through department chairs, deans, and Linda Wykoff in the Office of the Provost. » The filled out Certification of Physician or Practitioner form can be either sent directly to Linda Wykoff in the Office of the Provost or it can be sent to the faculty’s department chair. .
