Specific Notice for New Jersey State Family Leave and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Upon return from extended sick or medical leave, employees must be referred to the Office of Payroll and Benefits with the appropriate medical documentation authorizing their return to work. Employees may also use the Return from Leave of Absence form in lieu of medical documentation. Medical documentation must be uploaded via the My Document Upload in WP Connect.
Because of strict regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and in order to ensure our employee's privacy, no medical documentation or copies thereof are to be kept in any department's files except for the Student Health Center. All medical documentation is to be retained in a separate and secure file in the Office of Human Resources. To ensure the University's compliance with Federal law, your cooperation is essential.
