Test details

## Know what to expect.

Review the instructions, covered skills, example question themes, and intended audience before beginning.

01

### Instructions and covered skills

Read each scenario carefully before selecting an answer. Focus on the facts provided and apply the stated FMLA rules consistently. Do not assume facts that are not included in the question. Work in a quiet setting and turn off notifications before you begin. Stay focused on the leave-administration issue being tested rather than unrelated workplace concerns. Review your selections when time permits and choose the response that best fits the scenario.

### Key Areas

This test covers practical administration of Family and Medical Leave Act requests in an HR setting. It examines how to determine whether an employer is covered and whether an employee meets the worksite, tenure, and hours-of-service requirements. Candidates apply rules for recognizing potential FMLA requests, including requests that do not use the term “FMLA,” and distinguish foreseeable from unforeseeable notice responsibilities.

The test also addresses the notice sequence used in leave administration. This includes eligibility and rights-and-responsibilities notices, designation notices, and communication of an employer’s chosen 12-month leave measurement method. Scenarios assess appropriate handling of medical certification, incomplete or insufficient forms, authentication and clarification practices, second opinions, and recertification timing.

Additional areas include intermittent and reduced-schedule leave tracking, substitution of paid leave under employer policy, health-benefit continuation, fitness-for-duty procedures, and job restoration obligations. Questions also address recordkeeping, confidentiality of medical documentation, military family leave categories, and the interaction between an employee’s notice, the employer’s knowledge, and HR’s follow-up duties.

### Recommended Preparation

Review the federal FMLA eligibility standards, covered-employer thresholds, qualifying reasons, and employee leave entitlements. Study the required notice forms and the timeframes for providing them after HR gains knowledge that leave may qualify. Practice reading short workplace scenarios and identifying the specific fact that triggers an HR action.

Become familiar with the difference between a certification that is incomplete and one that is insufficient, along with the employee’s opportunity to cure deficiencies. Review how intermittent absences are counted and how an employer’s uniformly applied call-in rules can affect notice analysis. Understand that employer policies, collective bargaining agreements, state leave laws, and disability accommodation obligations may create additional requirements; however, apply the federal FMLA facts stated in each question. Use the official FMLA regulations, U.S. Department of Labor guidance, and your organization’s written leave procedures as preparation resources.
