I am aware of and understand the following:

medical certification form to the Office of Human Resources within 15 days of the College's request, or as soon as practicable. Failure to do
so may result in my leave being delayed until I provide this documentation; if the certification is not clear, the College can contact the
Healthcare Provider for clarification.
2. Following a leave for my own serious illness, I may be required to present a fitness for duty certification to the Office of Human Resources.
3. My health benefits will continue during my leave and I am expected to continue to pay my share of health insurance premiums, if any.
4. If, under current University leave policies, I am eligible to lengthen this leave or request other leave benefits, I will submit the appropriate
documents to the Office of Human Resources, prior to the conclusion of my FMLA leave.
5. If I fail to return to work upon the conclusion of this approved leave, I may be subject to disciplinary proceedings or other action in
accordance with CUNY policies and applicable collective bargaining agreements.
