Acceptable Notifications from Employer

Once your FMLA application/certification has been submitted to UAL, you should then receive one of 3 possible notifications: acceptance of your request for FMLA, a request for you to “provide additional information”, or a denial of your FMLA request.

Accepted

• “Accepted”: no further action by you is required. Remember to strictly adhere to the parameters of the Certification (block absence dates, or frequency/duration of approved intermittent use of Family Leave)

Request for Additional Information

• “Request for additional information”: THIS IS NOT A DENIAL OF YOUR APPLICATION! The Company is allowed to request clarification of submitted information or additional information to be provided. You must be allowed a minimum of 7 days to provide the requested information unless there are circumstances outside your control which interfere with the ability to comply (*make specific note of the date you received the request in writing...keep the postmarked envelope as well.)

Denied

• “Denied”: the denial of your family leave request must be in writing and must give you the specific reason for the denial (for example, you did not have the qualifying eligibility flight time hours as of the date of the absence, the health condition does not qualify, etc. Should you receive a denial notification, please contact your Local Council office for further assistance.
