What is the name of your state? Indiana
I work for a casino and have a multiple handicapped child and i need to know what the policies and procedures are for submitting intermittent leave paperwork. In the past I had her doctor fill out paperwork every six months to a year (whenever HR told me i needed to have it filled out again). Now HR is requesting that i get the FMLA paperwork filled out by her doctor every month - my daughter has and will always have a seizure disorder, mental retardation, and Cerebal Palsey, she does not walk, talk, feed herself, etc. She needs 24hr care. A new director came on board and has changed the policies and has not distributed a new handbook stating these new policies and procedures for FMLA. I received a letter dated Sept. 16th by certified mail today Sept. 27th at the post office and signed for it. HR is requesting that i have this paperwork back to them by Oct. 1st. I thought i had 15 days from the day of actually receiving the letter in my hand or the date it was dated on the letter. HR has informed me that her doctor can make a copy of the previous month's paperwork and sign it each month. Do they have the right to do this? Can they change the policies? And do i have to have paperwork to renew my intermittent leave every month when my daughter's condition will never change?
