District policy states that a Leave of Absence form is required when an employee will be absent for medical reasons that qualify for leave under the FMLA guidelines (including intermittent leave dates) and when an employee will be absent for 15 days or longer. DEC policy (Local-Compensation and Benefits) also requires that all employees submit related leave request forms, return to duty forms, and related leave of absence documentation in a timely manner.
Please send all e-mail correspondence (including requests for leave of absence applications) to Benefits Office
