Note to extend FMLA

SMace

Someone requested to extend their FMLA leave beyond the time certified. Would a doctor's note suffice for you or would you ask for the info on a certification form?

POPEYE

We accept a physician's note with new info as long as it is the same physician that completed the original certification.

It would totally depend on the wording of the note. I've gotten notes that are suspect, such as "Treated on 8/12, followup appt on 9/12, possible return to work on 10/12." I would require a complete recertification in such a case.

The note refernced the previous FMLA and gave info on future appts. I'm going to accept it. Thanks for your time.
