An employee who is absent due to illness for three (3) continuous working days must contact Liberty Mutual (DePaul's Administrator for leaves of absence) at 1-800-341-0593. If the employee's absence does not qualify as a medical leave of absence, the employee’s manager has the option of requesting that the employee provide a physician's note to the Benefits Department, verifying that he or she was under a doctor's care. The physician’s note is to be submitted directly to the Benefits Department.
