What information can the University request in the medical certification of a serious health condition?

You cannot request a diagnosis or description of the condition. Medical certification is limited to the following information:

• Confirmation that the employee (or the employee's family member) has a serious health condition as defined by Federal and State law;
• The date of the onset of the serious health condition;
• The probable duration of the serious health condition;
• A written statement that the employee is not able to perform the essential functions of his or her job; and
• If intermittent leave or a reduced work schedule is being considered, a statement that it is medically necessary.
