An employee submitted a physicians note stating that he should no longer work due to total disability. Does the department process a payroll form to place the employee on the disability leave?
No, the department should speak with the employee about requesting a FMLA or medical leave of absence. The department should also suggest or advise the employee to inquire about submitting a disability claim. Only Human Resources is authorized to place an employee on an approved disability leave. If the employee’s claim for Duke Disability is approved, HR will process the necessary payroll form.
