    • Circumstances in which reimbursement may be requested include:
      • A failure to return to work from an entitled leave of absence after the leave has expired
      • A failure to return to work from an entitled leave of absence with reason other than the continuation, recurrence, or onset of a serious health condition that entitles you to additional FMLA/CFRA leave, or other circumstances beyond your control
