What Is Form WH-380-E?

Form WH-380-E is the medical certification form used under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) when an employee requests leave for their own serious health condition. The employee's healthcare provider completes this form to certify the medical necessity of the leave, including the expected duration and whether intermittent leave is needed.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The employee completing the healthcare provider sections — only the provider can certify the medical information
Providing vague information about frequency of intermittent leave (be as specific as possible)
Not returning the form within 15 calendar days of the employer's request
The healthcare provider leaving critical fields blank (duration, frequency), which allows the employer to request a more complete certification
Not distinguishing between continuous leave and intermittent leave when both may be needed

Frequently Asked Questions

How much FMLA leave am I entitled to?

Eligible employees are entitled to up to 12 workweeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in a 12-month period for their own serious health condition. Some employers offer paid FMLA leave as a benefit.

Can my employer contact my doctor about the certification?

Your employer may contact your healthcare provider for clarification or authentication of the certification, but the contact must be made by a health care provider, HR professional, or management official — not your direct supervisor.

What if my employer denies my FMLA request?

If the certification is complete and sufficient, the employer must grant the leave. If denied, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division or consult an employment attorney.
