Description: The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) requires private sector employers of 50 or more employees, and public agencies to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave to ``eligible'' employees for certain family and medical reasons. Records are required so that the Department of Labor can determine employer compliance with FMLA. These recordkeeping requirements are necessary in order for the DOL to carry out its statutory obligation under section 106 of FMLA to investigate and ensure employer compliance. By requiring employers to maintain these records, the DOL is able to determine employer compliance. Because these collections involve third-party notifications between the employer and the employee, the WHD created optional Forms WH-380 and WH-381 to assist employees and employers in meeting their regulatory notification obligations under the FMLA. Form WH-380 allows employees who are requesting FMLA leave based on a serious health condition to satisfy a mandatory requirement to furnish a medical certification (when requested) from their health care provider, including second or third opinions and recertifications. See 29 CFR 825.306. Form WH-381 allows employers to satisfy mandatory requirements to provide employees taking FMLA-leave with written notice detailing specific expectations and obligations of the employee and explaining any consequences of a failure to meet these obligations. See 29 CFR 825.301(b). These collections are necessary to ensure that both employers and employees are aware of and can exercise their rights and meet their respective obligations under FMLA.
