Does Trusted offer extended leave?

At Trusted, we are committed to supporting our clinicians during life’s important and challenging moments.
We fully comply with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and any applicable state and local extended leave laws.

Who Is Eligible for Extended Leave?

To qualify for extended leave, you must meet all of the following:

  • Worked 1,250 hours during the 12 months prior to the start of leave

  • Worked for Trusted Health for at least 12 months

  • Work at or be assigned to a location where Trusted Health (or your home office) has 50 or more employees within 75 miles
    (For staffing companies, location is based on the number of employees near the home office unless you’ve been at your assignment location for a year or more.)

AND have a qualifying reason, such as:

  • Birth of your child or bonding with a newborn

  • Bonding with an adopted or foster child

  • Caring for an immediate family member with a serious health condition

  • Managing your own serious health condition

  • Caring for a current service member of the Armed Forces with an injury or illness

  • Caring for a discharged veteran (other than dishonorable discharge) undergoing medical treatment

  • Handling “qualifying exigencies” (e.g., childcare, financial or legal arrangements) related to a family member’s call to active military duty

  • Any additional reason covered under applicable federal, state, or local laws

What If I'm Not Eligible?

If you do not meet eligibility for extended leave under FMLA, CFRA, or state law, you may:

  • Apply for short-term disability (if available in your state)

  • Continue your Trusted benefits by enrolling in COBRA coverage

How can I request extended leave?

If your leave is foreseeable:

  • Notify both your facility supervisor and Trusted Health

  • Provide required documentation at least 30 days in advance

If your leave is not foreseeable:

  • Notify Trusted Health and your supervisor as soon as possible

  • Provide supporting documentation, which may include:

    • Medical certification for your own or a family member’s serious health condition

    • Military documentation for active duty or qualifying exigency leave

    • Periodic status updates and intent to return to work (if appropriate)
