QUESTION OF THE MONTH
Q.
When I ask employees for medical documentation of
their Family Medical Leave, I usually get a variety
of doctor's notes, not necessarily easy to understand
and usually lacking key leave information. Is there
a simpler way of obtaining this important medical leave
information?
A. Yes,
The USDOL's Office of Compliance Assistance Policy provides
an on-line form to assist employers, employees and medical
professionals with simplifying the FMLA medical documentation
process. It is called the “Certification of Health
Care Provider"and it is easily accessible at www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/fmla/wh380.pdf.
