Obtaining Medical Documentation in
Federal Leave and Accommodation:
What the EEOC, MSPB and the Courts Are Saying
Marilyn Mattingly, Author, Trainer and Consultant in Federal Employee
and Labor Relations
It’s difficult enough dealing with the complexities of leave abuse, extended
leave and accommodation. And adding the challenge of obtaining good medical
documentation — while complying with legal requirements — leaves your agency
open to countless procedural missteps that could cost time, money and embarrassment.
Ms. Mattingly will draw from key case law to provide specific guidance on
when, how and exactly what medical documentation can be required or requested
when dealing with leave, discipline and accommodation. You’ll learn what medical
documentation requests are and are not deemed appropriate by the EEOC, MSPB
and the courts.
In just 90 minutes, you’ll gain expert insight on handling specific leave issues
involving:
• FMLA
• Sick leave
• Extended and excessive absences
• Medical inability to perform actions
• Inability to work a regular work schedule
Plus, Ms. Mattingly will answer questions such as:
• What are the employer’s — and employee’s —
responsibilities when obtaining documentation?
• What are the rules for confidentiality?
• What is conclusory medical documentation and
how do you deal with it?
