Can SVSU designate time off as FMLA leave without an employee request for FMLA?
SVSU strongly encourages all employees to apply for FMLA leave pursuant to designated procedures. Timely application for FMLA leave ensures that eligible employees receive the protections guaranteed to employees under the Act. However, due to the employer duties set forth in the FMLA, there may be circumstances that SVSU will designate time off as FMLA leave without an employee request. SVSU will notify an employee of the applicability of the FMLA by sending an Employer Response to Employee Request for FMLA form to the employee.
