Enhanced FMLA Fitness-for-Duty Certification Provides Comfort to Employers

October 24, 2016 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: Fitness For Duty

An employee’s return to work following an extended FMLA leave for a serious health condition of the employee often creates concerns on the part of the employer. In these situations, employers frequently question whether the employee is really able to perform the essential functions of the job and whether returning the employee to work may expose him/her to risk of further injury (and potentially expose the employer to legal risk). However, these concerns can often be relaxed through use of the “enhanced” fitness-for-duty certification procedures set forth in Section 312 of the Department of Labor’s FMLA Regulations, 29 C.F.R. § 825.312.

Conflicting Fitness for Duty Reports Preclude Retaliation Claim

October 22, 2010 | Littler Filed Under: Fitness For Duty

What should an employer do when an employee’s doctor releases him to return to work, but its own doctor says that the employee cannot safely return? A federal district court in Kansas recently addressed this issue, holding that an employer’s reliance upon its own doctor’s opinion that an employee could not return to work was a legitimate basis for discharging the employee after he had exhausted all of his available FMLA leave.
