FWA Guidelines

FWA Proposal Form

The FWA Proposal Form is at the heart of UTC’s Proposal and Review Process. It is to be completed for new participant arrangements and schedule modifications made to those arrangements. However, if your request is being made because of your own medical condition or that of a family member as defined under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), consult with your Human Resources representative. This form is a tool to help you think through ways to do your job more flexibly and efficiently.

Click Here to complete the Microsoft Word version of the form. This version can be saved and submitted later as an e-mail attachment.

Click on "Tip" after questions 1-7 for help in developing answers for those questions.
