____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides that an employer may require an employee seeking FMLA protections
because of a need for leave due to a serious health condition to submit a medical certification issued by the employee’s
health care provider. 29 U.S.C. §§ 2613, 2614(c)(3); 29 C.F.R. § 825.305. The employer must give the employee at least
15 calendar days to provide the certification. If the employee fails to provide complete and sufficient medical certification,
his or her FMLA leave request may be denied. 29 C.F.R. § 825.313. Information about the FMLA may be found on the
WHD website at www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fmla
.
SECTION I – EMPLOYER
Either the employee or the employer may complete Section I. While use of this form is optional, this form asks the health
care provider for the information necessary for a complete and sufficient medical certification, which is set out at 29 C.F.R.
§ 825.306. You may not ask the employee to provide more information than allowed under the FMLA regulations,
29 C.F.R. §§ 825.306-825.308. Additionally, you may not request a certification for FMLA leave to bond with a healthy
newborn child or a child placed for adoption or foster care.
Employers must generally maintain records and documents relating to medical information, medical certifications,
recertifications, or medical histories of employees created for FMLA purposes as confidential medical records in separate
files/records from the usual personnel files and in accordance with 29 C.F.R. § 1630.14(c)(1), if the Americans with
Disabilities Act applies, and in accordance with 29 C.F.R. § 1635.9, if the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
applies.

SECTION II - HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
Please provide your contact information, complete all relevant parts of this Section, and sign the form. Your patient has
requested leave under the FMLA. The FMLA allows an employer to require that the employee submit a timely, complete,
and sufficient medical certification to support a request for FMLA leave due to the serious health condition of the employee.
For FMLA purposes, a “serious health condition” means an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that
involves inpatient care or continuing treatment by a health care provider. For more information about the definitions of a
serious health condition under the FMLA, see the chart on page 4.
You may, but are not required to, provide other appropriate medical facts including symptoms, diagnosis, or any regimen
of continuing treatment such as the use of specialized equipment. Please note that some state or local laws may not allow
disclosure of private medical information about the patient’s serious health condition, such as providing the diagnosis and/or
course of treatment.
