Form WH-380-E November 2008
Section I: For Completion by the EMPLOYER
INSTRUCTIONS to the EMPLOYER: 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. Please complete Section I before giving
this form to your employee. Your response is voluntary. While you are not required to use this form, you may not ask
the employee to provide more information than allowed under the FMLA regulations, 29 C.F.R. §§ 825.306825.308.
Employers must generally maintain records and documents relating to medication certifications, re-certifications, 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.

employer, your response is required to obtain or retain the benefit of FMLA protections, 29 U.S.C. §§ 2613, 2614
(c)(3). Failure to provide a complete and sufficient medical certification may result in a denial of your FMLA request,
29 C.F.R. § 825.313. Your employer must give you at least 15 calendar days to return this form, 29 C.F.R.
§825.305(b).

condition, treatment, etc. Your answer should be your best estimate based upon your medical knowledge, experience,

may not be sufficient to determine FMLA coverage. Limit your responses to the condition for which the employee is
seeking leave. Please be sure to sign the form on the last page.
