How to Request Leave

To request PPL, employees should:

• Notify their supervisor and Human Resources as soon as possible.
• To formally initiate the PPL process, visit the HR Ticketing System in TeamDynamix to submit an FML ticket, and indicate the need for PPL in the description section.
• The employee will need to submit an FML Request Form and a Paid Parental Leave Form.
• The employee will be notified of their FML approval status after the request forms have been received and reviewed.
• NOTE: The employee is expected to communicate with their supervisor and properly report absences in DASH.

• PPL may be used on a continuous or intermittent basis. Intermittent use must be discussed with and agreed upon by the supervisor.
• PPL must be used within 365 days of the child’s birth.
• Adoptive parents may use PPL before placement, if necessary, to fulfill the legal requirements of the adoption process. 
• PPL and FML will run concurrently. Once PPL has ended, the employee may use sick and annual leave throughout the remainder of the approved FML.
