FML/PPL is Going Digital!

Introducing a new online Family Medical Leave (FML) & Paid Parental Leave (PPL) request process! Now when employees request FML/PPL, an online form captures all the employee information and automatically routes to HR while simultaneously notifying their supervisor of the request for their acknowledgment.

Major advantages to this improvement:

  • Employees only fill out 1 form instead of 2 when requesting PPL.
  • Allows for easy electronic notification to the supervisor of the request.
  • Improves the request and communication process for employees and clarifies employee’s responsibilities.
  • Streamlines the information HR receives to allow for accurate processing and a better employee experience.

The form is smartphone and tablet compatible. In addition, HR has computers in our office lobby where employees may receive assistance to submit an FML request.

Check out the new form by going to this link: tiny.utk.edu/request_fml. Additional documentation is needed depending on the reason for your request. The online form will walk you through the documentation required based on the leave you are requesting.
