Dear l\/Iichele:
l{ecently your supervisor notilied us of your need to take a leave of absence. If approved, this leave will be counted
under Family and Medical Leave. Under VWR’s policies, you may take up to ninety calendar days of medical leave in a
twelve-month period due to a serious health condition. You will be reinstated to your current or an equivalent position
upon completion of an approved leave of up to ninety days. Please keep in mind that in some cases, any previously
approved family or medical leave within the 12 months preceding when your leave begins will reduce the total amount
of leave time available to you.
You must have your treating physician complete the enclosed Certification 0fHeaItb Care Provider and you must
complete the enclosed Leave of Absence Application and Agreement. Both forms must be returned to me by
Egbruag; 24, 2003. If you need to extend your approved leave or if the circumstances of your leave otherwise change,
you must request an extension of your medical leave by contacting me and by notifying your supervisor. In either case,
another Certification qfHeultb Cane Pmviderwill be sent to you for your doctor to complete and return to me. You will
also be required to complete an additional Leave qfAb.ren¢¢ Application am!A,greement and return it to me.
If your total approved leave time extends beyond 90 days in a twelve·month period, VWR cannot guarantee your return
to employment but will consider you for open available positions if you apply and are qualified. During your approved
medical leave, VWR will continue your current benetits—to plan limitations outlined in your I/IVR Im‘emaliamz!Bcn¢it.r
book——as if you were still actively working. You will still be responsible for the regular portion of your benefit
premium payments. Before returning to work, VWR requires a medical release from your doctor.
If you have any questions about the enclosed information, please contact me at 856/ 467-7852.
Regards,
