Does the employee have to provide the employer with medical records for leave due to a serious health condition?
No. The employee does not have to provide detailed diagnostic information or actual medical records. The employer may, however, request that, for any leave taken due to a serious health condition, the employee provide a medical certification from their healthcare provider confirming that a serious health condition exists.
