Form WH-381 is used under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to notify employees of their eligibility for leave and to outline their rights and responsibilities. It helps ensure employees are informed about their entitlements and the necessary steps when requesting leave for family or medical reasons.

Employers must provide this form to employees who request FMLA leave to inform them of their eligibility and rights.

It details eligibility for FMLA leave, employee rights, and responsibilities, along with employer obligations.

Employees generally have 15 calendar days to complete and return the medical certification after the employer requests it.

Key employees may face different reinstatement rules under FMLA, particularly if their absence would cause significant economic harm to the employer.
