Fees for Registrants Requesting Parental Leave or Medical Leave Mid-Year
A credit will be calculated if a parental or medical request is submitted mid-year and the year's annual fees have already been paid. The credit will be determined using a combination of the pro-rated yearly fees and the pro-rated Parental Leave or Medical Leave fee. The resulting credit will be applied ONLY to the (pro-rated) fees when returning as a practicing Registrant. Annual renewals while on-leave is permitted for a maximum of three (3) years.
Note that backdating to a pro-rated quarter will not achieve additional credits unless extenuating circumstances are presented; please submit requests within 30 days of the requested effective date.
