The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S. Department of Labor has revised the FMLA forms that employees and employers use to meet their certification and notification obligations (under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)). The forms were revised after substantial public input, solicited back in August 2019. Revisions include questions that can be answered with a checkbox and an electronic signature feature.
The FMLA has certain information that must be provided by employees and employers. The information can be provided in any format, and the WHD forms are not required to be used for that purpose. The FAQs also clarified that forms with expiration dates that have passed are still acceptable to use.
