I did what Old Fart said to do in the above linked post. (Used NALC paperwork printed directly from their site) and it was approved immediately. Doctor was also less intimidated by the NALCs form since it is only 1 page instead of NRLCAs 4. Highly recommend!
Thanks so very much. Downloaded the form and Dr has already completed it. Now, do I give a copy to management or send to HR????
The address is in the paperwork. It does not go to local management
paperwork i have, just says to send to: appropriate fmla administration hrssc address lol or fax w/o a number... anybody else?
Where did you get the paperwork? If you got it from your supervisor or eLRA, it will have the address. Not sure if it is the same for everyone—I’m in the eastern US, and we send to Greensboro, NC

I have requested DR & ADR to step in prior to a violation (being proactive) the answer to me has always been to file a grievance after the fact. The only thing not reacting accomplishes is educating the violators that they can get away with anything they want. This happens over and over usually for the same violation.
Have had a few times ADR or DR steps in before Contract ever violated. Not many but it does happen in my district. Only when it has dealt specifically with safety in mind. I still give heads up routinely on issues before they happen. More of a heads up grievance incoming than anything.
