What happens if my employer says my medical certification is incomplete?

An employer must advise the employee if it finds the certification is incomplete and allow the employee a reasonable opportunity to cure the deficiency. The employer must state in writing what additional information is necessary to make the certification complete and sufficient and must allow the employee at least seven calendar days to cure the deficiency, unless seven days is not practicable under particular circumstances despite the employee’s diligent good faith efforts.


Please contact Employee Health at 205-934-3675 or medleavedocs@uabmc.edu if you have questions about your medical documentation.
