Effective July 1, 2019, all Knoxville-area employees, including those with the UT Institute of Agriculture, UT Institute for Public Service, UT Knoxville and UT System, must provide medical certification for family and medical leave requests regarding a serious health condition of the employee or a covered family member to ensure consistency among all UT employees across the state.
Employees will not need medical certification for family and medical leave requests regarding childbirth, adoption or foster care placement. If you are located in the Knoxville area and are affected by this change, please contact Michelle Currier at mcurrie5@utk.edu or at 865-974-1962. You may also contact Tarah Keeler at tkeeler3@utk.edu or at 865-974-0424.
