on what day of the leave of absence does fmla start
Q: I know that I have to allow employees at least 15 days to return a medical certification, but when does the 15-day clock start running? A: Start on the day the employee receives the request for certification. The FMLA rules state that if an employer asks for a medical certification or recertification of a serious health condition, the employee must provide the certification.
