How to Submit Hours to Payroll Once an employee is on ‘Leave’ status,
Genie will no longer work
Managers must submit manual timesheets to [email protected]
This is unpaid leave, so use any remaining sick and vacation hours on the submitted timesheets until the hours are exhausted or the employee returns to work
14
Sick & Vacation Time While on FMLA, employees will not
accrue sick hours or vacation hours
It is important to let HR know when the employee is back so that his/her status can be changed to ‘Active’ and he/she may start to accrue sick and vacation hours again

Contact Human Resources Remember, if an employee is out for
more than 3 days, contact the HR department immediately at [email protected]

Your application for leave under FMLA has been denied for the following reason:_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Your FMLA leave entitlement of 12 weeks (or longer if state mandated) every 12 months is coordinated with other company leave benefit programs. This 12-month period is measured forward from the date an employee’s FMLA leave begins. For example, if you take 12 weeks of leave under FMLA beginning on April 1 and ending on June 23, you will not be eligible for another period of leave under FMLA until April 1 of the following year. Leave under FMLA runs concurrently with other Company leave programs. Therefore, FMLA is not in addition to vacation, sick or other authorized leave of absence. Your benefit coverage during FMLA continues for up to 12 weeks (or longer if state mandated) provided you pay your share of the benefit premiums. You can make arrangements to pay your benefit premiums (a) before your leave, (b) during your leave, or (c) after you return from leave. However, any unpaid benefit premiums will be deducted from your first paycheck upon return to work or from any money owed to you at your termination should you not return to work. You are expected to return to work on the date listed above as your expected return to work date or at the end of your approved FMLA leave period (an updated request must be submitted). *=Failure to return to work at the end of the Family and Medical Leave period will be treated as a resignation unless an extension of the leave has been agreed upon and approved in writing by Edgewood Management Corporation or its affiliates. Please refer to your Policy and Procedure Manual for more information on time away from work. If you have any questions, please call Maesha McNeill at (301) 562-1785.
