Leave of Absence ChecklistEffective January 1, 2026, Marathon County has contracted AbsenceResources to administer Federal and Wisconsin Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leaves and assistance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodations.  This partnership will streamline the leave management process, ensuring compliance and providing enhanced support for employees.

FMLA/Leave of Absence Toolkit

Important: If you believe you may not qualify for FMLA leave but are experiencing an event that would typically qualify (e.g., your own medical condition, a family member’s medical condition, childbirth, etc.), you should still notify your supervisor and contact Human Resources. Human Resources will assess your eligibility and, if you are not eligible, will provide information on the County leave of absence options available to you.
