Leave FAQs

How much leave do I get each year?
When can I take my Leave?
What do I do if I need to be off for an extended period of time due to illness, surgery or birth or adoption of a baby?

As soon as possible please notify your supervisor of your situation. Then contact Brenda Nicholson x4173 in the Benefits office to discuss Family Medical Leave (FML). You will receive a form to request FMLA and a packet to go to your doctor to complete. FML is a federal program that provides qualified employees with 12 weeks of unpaid leave to protect their job. (For more information please see the Leaves and Absences section of the ROISD Staff Handbook)
What do I do if I am hurt at work?

Immediately notify your principal or supervisor, or go to the campus secretary or nurse. If the injury is life threatening and requires emergency medical treatment, they are to call 911, then call Brenda Nicholson in HR at 972-617-4173. The campus nurse will have a Worker’s Compensation packet to be completed and if the injury requires minor treatment, the employee will be sent to an appropriate medical provider. ALL accidents must be reported even if medical treatment is not sought.

The packet will be scanned to maricela.torres@redoakisd.org and originals go to the doctor with the employee. (For questions please contact Brenda Nicholson at x4173 ).
