Who do I notify for FMLA at UPS and how quickly?

Notify UPS as soon as practical — 30 days in advance for foreseeable leave, or as soon as possible for emergencies — through the UPS leave administrator.

For foreseeable FMLA leave (planned surgery, scheduled childbirth), federal regulations require 30 days' advance notice to UPS. For emergencies and unforeseeable conditions, notice is required "as soon as practicable" — usually within one or two business days.

UPS uses a third-party leave administrator (in recent years, MetLife/Aetna depending on region) to process FMLA requests. Call the leave administrator first, get a case number, and notify your supervisor and steward in writing the same day. Medical certification is usually due back within 15 days.
