Can we ask for proof of paternity?

02/08/2018

Q: “An unmarried couple work for us. The woman is pregnant. She is not eligible for FMLA leave based on her part-time status. The father, however, is eligible and is requesting FMLA leave. Is there any requirement in the regulation that the non-pregnant partner provide proof of paternity? Can we ask for that type of certification?” — DEW, Ohio
