Journal Sentinel Inc. is reviewing its Family and Medical Leave Act form.

A newsroom employee recently was given a copy of the form, and the Guild sent it to our lawyer, Barbara Zack Quindel, for review. She raised some issues with the form, related to consent and release of medical records.

We have asked the company to review the form, which it is doing.

In the meantime, if you receive or need a Family and Medical Leave Act form,
please talk to Greg Pearson, Guild 1st vice president, or another Guild representative before signing the form.
