FMLA info required

How often is it an employer is concerned about whether a FMLA leave request is warranted and does not receive adequate "medical facts" to evaluate the request. A bit of good news comes from this opinion of the 9th Circuit. The employee submitted a Form WH-380 certification, but it lacked the underlying facts for the diagnosed serious health condition. The court held an employees refusal to provide additional information rendered the certification deficient, and upheld her "removal from employment."
