If you are completing form WH-380-F, you will be required to provide information about the family member you are caring for during FMLA leave; such as their full name, your relationship to one another, and a description of your methods for providing care for that person.
Employee's serious health condition, form WH-380-E use when a leave request is due to the medical condition of the employee. Family member's serious health condition, form WH-380-F use when a leave request is due to the medical condition of the employee's family member.

Under certain circumstances, an employer may deny job restoration to "key employees." A "key employee" is a salaried, FMLA-eligible employee who is among the highest paid 10 percent of all the employees employed by the employer within 75 miles of the employee's worksite.
Doctors aren't the only health care providers who may certify FMLA leave. Podiatrists, dentists, clinical psychologists, optometrists and chiropractors can all certify leave, as can nurse practitioners, nurse-midwives, clinical social workers and physician assistants.
