Learn best practices for certification requests.
An employer may require an employee to provide medical certification from a health care provider to justify the need for FMLA leave. The request for certification should be made when the employee gives notice of the need for leave, or within two days thereafter as a best practice. The employee generally has 15 days to return it, but extensions should be provided. This video reviews certification requests, how to handle incomplete certifications and discusses whether or not you can contact the health care provider for clarification.
