You can sleep a little easier tonight — you no longer have
to worry about using expired Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993
(FMLA) forms. On May 27, 2015, the United States Department of
Labor (DOL) quietly updated its FMLA forms with a new expiration
date of May 31, 2018.
In addition to the new expiration date, the only other notable
change in the forms is a reference to the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). For example, in the instructions to
the health care provider on the certification form for an
employee's serious health condition (Form WH-380-E), the DOL
has added the following instruction:
"Do not provide information about genetic tests, as defined
in 29 C.F.R. § 1635.3(f), genetic services, as defined in 29
C.F.R. § 1635.3(e), or the manifestation of disease or
disorder in the employee's family members, 29 C.F.R. §
1635.3(b)."
