MILITARY LEAVE

To determine if an employee qualifies for a Military Leave of Absence, please refer to the Employee
Handbook or have the employee contact The Standard.

HOW TO APPLY FOR A LEAVE OF ABSENCE OR REPORT ABSENCES WITH THE STANDARD

When an employee requests a leave of absence, they should contact The Standard as follows:
Call the Absence Management Service Center (AMSC) at 866-756-8116, available Monday through
Friday, between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM Central Time.
They will be asked to provide the following information – in addition to other questions about their
absence:
• Employer Name: Goodwill-Easter Seals Minnesota
• Group Policy Number: 752972
• Employee ID number or Social Security number
• Last day at work
• Reason leave is requested
• Physician’s contact information (name, address, phone and fax number)

The Standard will make and communicate the Eligibility determination within 5 days. The leave
determination – approval or denial - can take up to 1-2 weeks to be completed. The Standard notifies
the Leave of Absence Admin about the determination and the LOA Admin will guide Managers through
the LOA process.
