Process and Procedures

When it is known that an employee will be (or has been) absent, due to personal illness, for 10 or more consecutive work days:

• The Supervisor completes and submits a Report of Extended Absence to the OEARM.

• OEARM sends a letter to the employee with a Disability Slip for completion by the treating provider.

• The employee is responsible for keeping OEARM informed of Return to Work (RTW) status. 

• Before returning to work, the employee must submit a current, completed Release to RTW form from their treating provider directly to OEARM. 

Requirements and standards related to the IDM may be found in P/R 4203: Absences and Leaves.
