Legal Question in Employment Law in Ohio

Re: FMLA documentation

Having a doctor�s excuse does not necessarily dictate whether the absence is qualified under the FMLA. If the absence was due to a �serious health condition�, which has a very specific definition in the FMLA, then the employer should not deny you FMLA leave. However, your post does not contain sufficient information about the contents of your certification or the reason for your absence/medical condition to determine whether the employer may have violated the FMLA.
