FMLA for birth of a child

KC · July 2002

I have an employee wanting to take FMLA for the birth of his child. Is there any form other than the "Certification of Health Care Provider" that he can fill out request his leave? This form doesn't seem to apply to his situation since he does not have a serious health condition. If anyone has a form that for this kind of request, I would love to see it. My email is [email]kcole@cardinalsolutions.com[/email]

Thanks!

KC,

I have four FMLA Forms that I drafted for my clients. The first one is a request form that I think is just what you need. I'll e-mail all of them so that you will have them, but the first one is designed for the employee to request FMLA and for the employeer to return a copy within 48 hours approving or denying leave. Having all this on one form made it easier for my clients to keep the records without a lot of papaer shuffling.

We use a simple form created on our letterhead for the employe request that shows who, what, when, how long. Then we use the DOL's form "Employer Response" that we found at:

We figured that if any form should be sufficient, it would be the DOL's form!
