Quick answer

Form WH-380-E is the U.S. Department of Labor certification employers may require when an employee requests FMLA leave for their own serious health condition. The employer completes its section, the employee fills in their information, and the health care provider certifies the medical facts. The employee has 15 calendar days to return it to the employer. With JustFill you upload the blank WH-380-E PDF, the AI auto-detects every field, you type or dictate your details, and you download the completed form free.

What is WH-380-E?

When you request FMLA leave for your own serious health condition, your employer may ask you to support it with Form WH-380-E from the DOL Wage and Hour Division. JustFill makes the official PDF fillable in your browser, so the employee and provider sections come back typed and legible instead of handwritten. The employer states the employee's job and essential functions, the employee completes their identifying information, and the health care provider certifies the medical facts — when the condition began, treatment, and how it limits the employee's ability to work, including any need for intermittent or reduced-schedule leave. Employers must allow at least 15 calendar days for the completed certification to come back, and they cannot demand more information than the form itself asks for.

The official 4-page Form WH-380-E PDF is free to download from the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division at dol.gov/agencies/whd/fmla/forms. Upload the blank WH-380-E PDF to JustFill on this page so the employer, employee, and health care provider sections can be typed cleanly in your browser and downloaded with no Adobe Acrobat required.

Who fills out WH-380-E?

  • Employees requesting FMLA leave for their own serious health condition
  • Doctors, nurse practitioners, and other health care providers certifying the medical facts
  • HR departments completing the employer section before giving the form to the employee
  • Employees who need intermittent or reduced-schedule leave for ongoing treatment or flare-ups
  • Workers asked to recertify an existing FMLA-qualifying condition

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of WH-380-E asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Employer section

Employer contact details plus the employee's job title, schedule, and essential job functions.

Employee section

Your name and basic identifying information, completed before you hand the form to your provider.

Provider information

The health care provider's name, practice type, address, and contact details.

Medical facts

When the condition began, how long it is expected to last, and relevant treatment — only what FMLA allows.

Ability to work

Whether the employee can perform the essential job functions and what they are unable to do.

Amount of leave needed

Continuous, intermittent, or reduced-schedule leave, with estimated frequency and duration of episodes.

Provider signature & date

The certifying provider signs and dates the completed medical portion.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Missing the 15-calendar-day deadline — a late or never-returned certification can delay or defeat the FMLA leave request.
  • 2Leaving the frequency and duration estimates blank for intermittent leave — the most common reason employers send the form back as incomplete.
  • 3Including more medical detail than the form asks for — providers should not add genetic information, which GINA prohibits employers from requesting.

WH-380-E example — what a filled-out form looks like

A fictional HR coordinator prepares Section I of Form WH-380-E for an employee requesting 6 weeks of continuous FMLA leave following orthopedic surgery.

Section I — Employer Name and Contact

Sample Cascade Logistics Inc. · HR Dept, 500 Harbor Blvd, Seattle, WA 98104

Completed by the employer before handing the form to the employee.

Employee's Job Title & Regular Schedule

Warehouse Shift Supervisor · 40 hrs/week (Mon–Fri, 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM) · Essential job functions attached

Allows the health care provider to evaluate which job duties the employee cannot perform.

Section II Part A — Medical Facts

Completed by Dr. Rebecca Sample, MD (Orthopedic Surgery) · Hospitalization/Recovery: 10/20/2026 – 12/01/2026

Documents the qualifying serious health condition without requiring a specific ICD diagnosis code.

Section II Part B — Amount of Leave Needed

Continuous leave from 10/20/2026 through 12/01/2026 (6 weeks) plus 2 follow-up PT appointments

Specifies continuous incapacity dates and follow-up treatment schedule.

These values are made up. They are here to show what belongs on each line, not to be copied — every name, number, and address on your own WH-380-E has to be your own.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The form is free to download from dol.gov and JustFill lets you complete it free online. Your provider may charge their own fee for completing the medical certification.
Your employer usually provides it when you request FMLA leave, or you can download the current WH-380-E PDF free from dol.gov, then upload it into JustFill to complete it online.
Three parties: the employer completes its section about your job, you complete the employee section, and your health care provider completes and signs the medical certification.
Your employer must give you at least 15 calendar days to return the completed certification, and more time if you make diligent, good-faith efforts but cannot meet the deadline.
No. The certification is limited to the information WH-380-E requests, and under GINA an employer cannot ask the provider for genetic information when requesting this certification.
