Handling Employee Leave Request and Qualifying Events

Your First Steps When an Employee Requests Leave

Whether you’re an HR professional, a supervisor, or the head of a small business, knowing how to manage employee leave requests and qualifying events is crucial to staying compliant and ensuring a smooth process for everyone involved.

Step 1: Notify HR or the Designated Compliance Officer

When an employee notifies you of their intention to take leave or reports a qualifying event (such as a medical condition, family emergency, or maternity leave), the first step depends on your role:

• For Supervisors: Immediately inform your HR Department. They are responsible for sending out the necessary documents and guiding both you and the employee through the leave process.
• For Organizations Without an HR Department: Designate a team member to handle these responsibilities. This person should be well-versed in leave policies and compliance requirements to ensure the organization remains in full compliance with federal and state laws.

Key Takeaway: Prompt and clear communication with the right department or individual is essential. Delays can lead to compliance issues, affecting both the employee’s experience and the organization’s legal standing.
