FMLA

System

I am a one person HR department so I don't have another person to confer with. We have an employee that is out on FMLA (injury)we found out that he probably will not be back for another 2 months. This will put him out of work for 5 months. I have sent him his FLMA paperwork and at this time we are paying our portion of the health insurance and he is paying his portion. Am I correct in sending this employee a COBRA notice when his 12 week FMLA leave has exhausted - employee pay 102% of the health insurance?

LindaS

You are correct.

Linda S is correct and is assuming that you have not allowed anyone else to only pay the employee portion of their insurance after their 12 weeks of FMLA were up. Make sure you check what your past practice has been in these situations.
