Under the regulations, an employer should request medical certification, in most cases, at the time an employee gives notice of the need for leave or within five business days. If the leave is unforeseen, the employer should request medical certification within five days after the leave begins.
An employer may request certification at a later date if he or she has reason to question the appropriateness or duration of the leave.
