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.

Know what medical documents can — and cannot — be requested.

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?
