Question: me and my husband was in the process of getting a car loan and they called my work place to verify i work there and the office lady at work told the loan place i was on fmla, is my work place aloud to give out that information?
Answer:
Short answer, NO. According to 29 CFR 825.500(g), the records are considered confidential in compliance with ADA requirements. There are exceptions;
(1) Supervisors and managers may be informed regarding necessary restrictions on the work or duties of an employee and necessary accommodations;
(2) First aid and safety personnel may be informed (when appropriate) if the employee's physical or medical condition might require emergency treatment; and
(3) Government officials investigating compliance with FMLA (or other pertinent law) shall be provided relevant information upon request.
(h) Special rules regarding recordkeeping apply to employers of airline flight crew employees.
So, you situation does not seem to fit any of the exceptions.
I would suggest you contact an attorney who specializes in FMLA law or employment law.
