In addition to the Request for Leave of Absence form, what additional paperwork needs to be completed to take a leave for the adoption of a child?
The adoption notice from the organization/lawyer needs to be forwarded along with the Request for Leave of Absence form. Usually, this legal document indicates when and where the adoption will take effect; this date will be the effective date of the leave. The leave of absence is limited to a maximum of 90 calendar days. The employee may use accrued vacation time and floating holidays to remain in pay status during this period (female employees are entitled to use up to six weeks of accrued sick time).
