​Managing leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) can be challenging, particularly when employees are taking intermittent leave or leave lasting more than six months for ongoing medical conditions. One of the most valuable tools available to employers is recertification, which allows employers to periodically verify that an employee's need for FMLA leave continues to qualify for protection under the law.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows eligible workers up to 12 workweeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for qualifying family and medical reasons.
