o Although the employee may be required to provide medical information (such as a doctor’s note) under certain circumstances, the manager/supervisor should not accept the medical documentation, but rather should direct the employee to submit the information to Human Resources. By statute, all employee medical information is confidential and therefore should be handled only by the benefits representative in Human Resources. o For that same reason, managers/supervisors should not create or keep files with medical information pertaining to employees. o If an employee is approved for FMLA/FLA leave, keep track of the employee’s related absences by using the FMLA/FLA tracking form that will be provided by Human Resources when the leave is approved. This is especially important to ensure that the employee does not use more FMLA/FLA time than is permitted under the law. 15
