Dear [employee’s name] ,<br />

As I informed you by written notice when you first requested FMLA leave, you are<br />

that you would pay these amounts by [explain method and amount—for ex<strong>amp</strong>le,<br />

“sending me a check on the first of each month in the amount of $65.25”]. I have<br />

attached a copy of the written notice explaining this requirement, for your reference.<br />

[explain how payment was missed—for ex<strong>amp</strong>le, “I have not yet received your<br />

payment that was due on May 1.”] I am writing <strong>to</strong> inform you that we are going <strong>to</strong><br />

terminate your health insurance coverage if we do not receive your [date of missed<br />

payment] payment by [deadline for submitting missed payment].<br />

Please take care of this right away. If you have any questions, feel free <strong>to</strong> call me at<br />

[phone number].<br />

Sincerely,<br />
