Current through July 10, 2024
(a)
Active
			 Duty Orders.
The first time an employee requests leave because of a
			 qualifying exigency arising out of the covered active duty or call to covered
			 active duty status or notification of an impending call or order to covered
			 active duty of a military member, an employer may require the employee to
			 provide a copy of the military member's active duty orders or other
			 documentation issued by the military which indicates that the military member
			 is on covered active duty or call to covered active duty status, and the dates
			 of the military member's covered active duty service. This information need
			 only be provided to the employer once. A copy of new active duty orders or
			 other documentation issued by the military may be required by the employer if
			 the need for leave because of a qualifying exigency arises out of a different
			 covered active duty or call to covered active duty status or notification of an
			 impending call or order to covered active duty of the same or a different
			 military member;
(b)
Required
			 information.
An employer may require that leave for any qualifying
			 exigency specified in section
			 31-51rr-13 of the Regulations of
			 Connecticut State Agencies be supported by a certification from the employee
			 that sets forth the following information:
(1) A statement or description, signed by the
			 employee, of appropriate facts regarding the qualifying exigency for which FMLA
			 leave is requested. The facts shall be sufficient to support the need for
			 leave. Such facts shall include information on the type of qualifying exigency
			 for which leave is requested and any available written documentation which
			 supports the request for leave; such documentation, for example, may include a
			 copy of a meeting announcement for informational briefings sponsored by the
			 military, a document confirming an appointment with a counselor or school
			 official, or a copy of a bill for services for the handling of legal or
			 financial affairs;
(2) The
			 approximate date on which the qualifying exigency commenced or will
			 commence;
(3) If an employee
			 requests leave because of a qualifying exigency for a single, continuous period
			 of time, the beginning and end dates for such absence;
(4) If an employee requests leave because of
			 a qualifying exigency on an intermittent or reduced schedule basis, an estimate
			 of the frequency and duration of the qualifying exigency;
(5) If the qualifying exigency involves
			 meeting with a third party, appropriate contact information for the individual
			 or entity with whom the employee is meeting (such as the name, title,
			 organization, address, telephone number, fax number, and email address) and a
			 brief description of the purpose of the meeting; and
(6) If the qualifying exigency involves
Rest and Recuperation
leave, a copy of the military member's
			 rest and recuperation orders, or other documentation issued by the military
			 which indicates that the military member has been granted rest and recuperation
			 leave, and the dates of the military member's rest and recuperation
			 leave.
