Is a medical certification required to avail of the special leave for women?
Yes, a medical certification is an absolute requirement for a female employee to avail of the special leave. The employee must have undergone surgery due to gynecological disorders, and this must be expressly certified by a competent physician. Under Republic Act No. 9710 and DOLE Department Order No. 112-A, Series of 2012, the physician’s certification controls the required period of recuperation. This ensures that the medical necessity and the duration of the leave are professionally validated. 17-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
