Employee Leave Request Instructions
When an employee has been absent or anticipates being absent more than five consecutive work days, Fort Bend ISD requires an application for a District leave.
(Click on all underlined words to print needed leave forms.)
Employee Request for Leave Steps:
- An employee shall obtain leave forms from the Fort Bend ISD website or the supervisor.
- The employee completes and signs an Employee Request for Leave Application (DEC-E-2)and forwards it to the supervisor for signature. The supervisor will complete a DC-E-2 form placing the employee on leave and submits it along with the DEC-E-2 to the Leaves Office.
- The employee has the
attending physician complete and sign a medical certification
form and submits it to the Leaves Office. (Forms not
signed by the physician will be returned to the employee.) Click on the
link below for the appropriate medical certification form:
- Employee’s Serious Health Condition (Form WH-380-E) – includes maternity
- Family Member’s Serious Health Condition (Form WH-380-F)
- Certification for Serious Injury or Illness of Covered Servicemember for Military Family Leave (Form WH-385)
- Certification of Qualifying Exigency For Military Family Leave (Form WH-384) (this form does not need to be completed by a healthcare provider)
*Leaves are processed as quickly as possible. However, please note that we cannot process a leave without all required documents*
Employee Return from Leave Steps:
- The employee obtains a medical release and submits it to the supervisor (not Human Resources) five days before return to work. Employees will not be allowed to return to work without a release from the attending physician. All medical releases with restrictions/limitations must be reviewed by the Leaves Office before allowing the employee to return to work.
- The supervisor completes a DC-E-2 form returning the employee from leave and submits all paperwork to the Leaves Office. All forms may be faxed to 281.327.1461.

Types of Leave
v Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
FMLA is for employees employed by the District for 12 months, and the employee has worked 1250 hours in the 12 months immediately preceding the need for leave. This leave is for maternity, illness of a member of the immediate family (mother, father, spouse, and children) or illness of self. The term parent does NOT include a parent “in-law.” The term son or daughter does include individuals 18 years or over, if they are “incapable of self-care” because of mental or physical disability that limits one or more of the “major life activities.”
Maximum duration: 12 workweeks
v Temporary Disability Leave (TDL)
This leave is only for full-time educators who have exhausted FML or have been with the District less than one year. This leave is for the illness of the employee only.
Maximum duration: 180 calendar days
v Other Leaves
Please check Board Policy DEC (LOCAL) regarding the specifics on other leaves such as military.
Important employee concerns
Ø FBISD does not offer paid leave. An employee is paid for any accrued state and local days. For instance, if an employee has 20 accrued days and is out for 24 days, then “sick leave” days will be taken from the accrued state and local leave days; hence, he/she will not be paid for 4 days. Contact your Compensations Specialist with any questions regarding leave days and/or salary information.
