If leave is for a covered family member’s serious health condition, certification must include:
The date when the serious health condition began. The probable duration of the condition. An estimate of the amount of time that the healthcare provider believes you are needed to care for the family member. A statement that the family member’s serious health condition requires you to provide care during the period of treatment or supervision. The Company may require subsequent recertification of your own serious health condition if additional leave is required. If the Company has reason to doubt the validity of the certification provided, the Company may require, at its own expense, that you obtain a second opinion from a healthcare provider designated or approved by the Company. If the second opinion differs from the original certification, the Company may again require, at its own expense, that you obtain a third opinion from a different healthcare provider designated or approved jointly by you and the Company. The third opinion will be considered final and binding.
Return to Work
If you take leave for your own serious health condition, you must obtain certification from your healthcare provider that you are able to resume work.
Reinstatement
Upon return to work at the end of leave, you will be placed in your original job or an equivalent job with equivalent pay and benefits. You will not lose any benefits that accrued before leave was taken. You may not, however, be entitled to discretionary raises, promotions, bonus payments, or other benefits that become available during the period of leave.
Benefits
If the Company provides you with health benefits under a group health plan, the Company will maintain and pay for your health coverage for up to 12 weeks at the same level and under the same conditions as coverage would have been provided if you had not taken CFRA leave.
Failure to Return to Work
If you fail to return to work or fail to request an extension of leave prior to the expiration of the leave, you will be considered to have voluntarily terminated your employment. If you fail to return from leave, the Company may require reimbursement of the health insurance premiums paid during the leave under certain circumstances.
