FMLA: Forms | U.S. Department of Labor
Summary: Form WH-382 is an optional-use Designation Notice provided by the U.S. Department of Labor for employers to inform employees whether their leave request is approved as FMLA-protected.

It allows employers to formally notify employees if their leave request is approved, denied, or if additional information (such as a medical certification) is required.
