Is an employee required to complete the certification provided in order to be covered under FMLA? What if they are unable to because of their condition?

Hello!

The employee is only required to submit a certification IF the employer requests. So, if you are not requiring one, then no problem.

Here is a link to a fact sheet: https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs28g.pdf

Let me know if we can assist you further. Have a great day.
