Laws current as of December 1, 2025 Do I have to tell my employer in advance that I’m going to be using safe leave?
You’re supposed to give your employer “reasonable advance notice” when you know you’re going to be taking safe leave in the future. However, if there’s an emergency and it’s not possible to tell your employer in advance, the notice is not required.1
