If I talk to an employee about her attendance issues and she tells me she has a major medical condition that is keeping her from coming to work, am I required to give her a medical certification form

If I talk to an employee about her attendance issues and she tells me she has a major medical condition that is keeping her from coming to work, am I required to give her a medical certification form to see if she needs intermittent FMLA?

I would and would also consider providing ADA forms as well. She has started the interactive process and it is up to the employer to take the next step. Now her medical issue may or may not fall under either FMLA or ADA, but you need to request more information to know for sure.
One really good read on interaction between FMLA and ADA is : http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/fmlaada.html Another easier read (but with less info) is : http://www.dol.gov/odep/pubs/fact/employ.htm |
