@top.law.assist: You do not owe your employer a diagnosis to start FMLA, and employment law sets the bar far lower than most people assume. All you have to do is give enough information to put them on notice that your leave might qualify. "I have a serious health condition and I need time off" can be enough. Then the burden shifts. They get five business days to hand you the paperwork. Not five days to question you. Clinical details belong on the certification form, filled out by your provider. Not by you in a hallway. #employmentlaw #FMLA #medicalleave #knowyourrights
