1. If you are on leave due to a birth or adoption of a child:
a. Contact the Benefits Team at 312-362-8232 within 31 days to complete a family status change in order to add the child to your health insurance.
b. You may also want to update your life insurance and retirement plan beneficiary information.
2. Stay in touch and provide a status update to your manager and The Hartford throughout your leave.
3. If you are on an intermittent leave, you are required to submit a Payroll Leave Spreadsheet to the Benefits Team each Friday before a payroll date. The spreadsheet is used to notify the Payroll Department of the hours you work and the hours to be applied to your approved leave of absence. Failure to provide the Payroll Leave Spreadsheets on a timely basis may result in you not being paid or being underpaid.
4. If your circumstances change while you are on leave and you are able to return to work earlier than expected please notify The Hartford and your manager as soon as possible before returning to work.
5. If you need to extend your leave beyond your expected return to work date, you must notify The Hartford and your manager at least five work days prior to the date you had originally intended to return to work. The Hartford will work with you to complete the steps necessary to extend your leave.
