Create Cover Letter (Optional)
Complete the optional Cover Letter if desired by clicking on “Not Done – Create” next to “FMLA
Cover Letter.” This option is available to provide employees with information about the FMLA
notices forms that are being provided, along with any other text you want the employee to receive.
The organization’s logo and address will appear at the top of the letter.
Note: Always do the cover letter last. The Cover Letter should be completed after completing any other FMLA forms or notices have been completed that will be referenced in the Cover Letter (e.g., the Eligibility Notice, the applicable certification form). if not, the system will show an error and force you to go back and complete the form specified in the Cover Letter.
The initial text is defaulted to appear as applicable in the initial letter sent to an employee.
Deselect (“Do not include”) this option for subsequent letters sent to the same employee.
Select standardized text to be added to the letter as applicable based on which documents
(i.e., notices and/or forms) will be included with the letter to be sent to the employee.
Add salutation and click Continue.
Note: Standard language can be added to the cover letter that will appear in all cover letters if desired. To insert standard language, click on “Account Profile Menu” from the Main Menu and access the “Create Global Cover Letter Info” to insert the text.
