" ... 2009's sweeping changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) contain several provisions relating to requests for medical certifications.
____________________
EXAMPLE -- For instance, the regulations increase the amount of time an employer has to request certification from 2 days to 5 days after receiving notice of a worker's need for leave.
____________________
REASON -- The regulations also provide employers with greater leeway in authenticating medical certifications and allow them additional opportunities to request certain information from a medical provider. The catch? This leeway comes with increased compliance requirements. One small slip, and your organization could find itself in a huge legal mess.
