The steps to take before requesting leave under the FMLA follow:

  1. Learn the procedure
  2. Keep in mind that your request is a negotiation, not a demand. 
  3. Request a face-to-face meeting. 
  4. Prepare your request in writing prior to your meeting. 
    1. Stick to the basics.
    2. Do not assume that your employer knows what your health condition is and why you need what you need. 
  5. Before the meeting, get ready for it.
  6. Be sure to discuss the basics during your meeting. 
  7. After the meeting, get the agreement in writing.

If you don't think you should negotiate for yourself, your local disease specific non-profit organization may have someone available to do the negotiation for you. If not, an attorney, social worker, or finance counselor could do it for you.

Information about each step is in other sections of this document.
