What documentation might I need to support my leave of absence?
What to expect when gathering paperwork for your leave
Quick answer
The documentation required to support your leave depends on the type of leave you're taking. This includes FMLA notices and certifications, non-FMLA medical certifications, ADA/PWFA accommodation request forms, and other supporting documents like return-to-work certifications, benefit promissory notes, explanations of benefits, and military orders. You can find form templates in the documents section of your leave plan.
Who this applies to / Prerequisites

- Your employer may require additional company-specific forms not covered here; if required, these appear as items in your personal leave plan.

What if it doesn't work
- I can't find a document template: See the article on uploading and managing your documents in Tilt.
- I'm not sure which documents apply to my leave: Check your personal leave plan — required items will appear there.
- If none of these apply, contact your Leave Success Manager.
