Learning & Organizational Development
Do you ever feel you have to navigate a maze when an employee requests leave? Do you find yourself asking questions such as these:
- What type of leave should be used?
- How should leave be requested?
- Which leave requests are handled at the departmental level, and which should be directed to HRS?
- How can the work be accomplished when employees are on extended leave?
- Do the same rules apply when medical leave is due to an on-the-job injury versus an ongoing condition?
Space is limited for the upcoming January 22, 2026 session. Register in Percipio and secure your spot!
This course is part of the WSU Training for Supervisors and will clarify understanding regarding issues that arise when assisting employees in managing leave.
