Short Notice FMLA Calls
If you have been denied FMLA for any reason please contact a grievance representative to assist you through the process. Please note that the reference to “the employer’s usual notice and procedural requirements” below is the same as any other 2 hour sick call procedure.
CFR 825.303 in part states when utilizing unforeseeable FMLA, as soon as practicable you must provide notice to the Company about your leave. 825.303(c). Notice may be given by the employee’s spokesperson (e.g., spouse, adult family member, or other responsible party), if the employee is unable to do so personally. If an employee does not comply with the employer’s usual notice and procedural requirements, and no unusual circumstances justify the failure to comply, FMLA-protected leave may be delayed or denied.
If you were assessed a Missed Trip/Trip Failure because you were unable to call in two hours prior in accordance with Company policy please follow the appeal procedures below:
- Email an appeal to
- Place Missed Trip/Trip Failure in the subject line.

- Always cc your grievance representative(s) in your appeal.
