The question of who to contact is the last thing you want to ask as you try to arrange for time off work due to a medical reason or leave of absence. Whether it be your own health issues or those of someone on your team, it is vital that you contact the correct personnel. MFA Oil has a team ready to answer any questions you have about taking time off for a qualifying medical event that may require immediate attention or a procedure you may have scheduled in the future, including injuries that occur at work.
To make it easier for employees to understand all aspects of a leave of absence, a new team has been formed. The “leave team” consists of Amy Allen-James, employee relations specialist; Amanda Coggeshall, benefits administrator; and Bev Pfeffer, senior workers’ compensation and liability specialist.
This group will answer questions and handle the administration of workers’ compensation, family medical leave for yourself or a family member, military leave, time off for jury duty and bereavement leave. They will also help verify you have the correct documentation to ensure a smooth transition when it is time to return to work.
“We want to ensure employees and supervisors have the resources they need and that we are fulfilling our legal obligations,” says Tom May, director of employee relations. “Having a team dedicated to handling these types of situations should make for a smoother process for everyone involved.”
