FMLA Absence Certification and Communications

Absence certification requirements are action items that workers must complete to continue receiving entitlements during an absence period.

Use them to track receipt of critical documentation.

To create certification requirements for absences:

1. From My Client Groups, click Show More.

2. Under Absences, click Absence Certifications.

   For further info, see the FMLA Absence Certifications topic in the Help Center.

3. Associate the certification requirements with an absence type on the Action Items tab of the Create Absence Type page.

Absences that workers schedule using that absence type are subject to the corresponding certification requirements.

Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) certifications have no requirements. However, you may implement them to track your employees' submission of a doctor's certificate or other information.
