IMPORTANT FACTS FOR THIS PROFESSIONAL LEAVE:

The email notification with ACTION REQUIRED in the subject will contain a link to complete the post-trip reimbursement information. You must access the form after your professional leave to complete the reimbursement process.
2. Requests for Caseload Workdays are completed on a separate form found on the Intranet Site.
3. Approvers and reviewers can send this form back to the requesting employee for more information. Employees will be notified if a form requires additional actions.
