Family medical leave and dr. excuses

I was wondering if you have the Family Medical Leave in effect can your employers request you to bring in a doctors excuse everytime you need to use it?

Re: Family medical leave and dr. excuses

Hello,

This is a short simple question, but difficult to answer without more facts. Your employer is entitled in some cases to proof of your medical situation, but that is different from a doctor's excuse like one might get for grade school or even sick leave. You need to consult with an employment law attorney, give him or her the facts of your situation, and then work out what you need to do. One thing I dont know, for example, is what your employer is requiring for certain. Best wishes, Mark J. Mahoney 920-984-4529
