What kind of Amazon work issue are you trying to solve?

Many employees start by searching for “Amazon DLS,” but the next step depends on the situation. Use this section to understand which option may fit.

01 Leave

I may need medical leave

Medical leave may apply when a health condition, flare-up, injury, surgery, pregnancy-related issue, or recovery period keeps you from working for a period of time.

Learn about leave paperwork
02 Accommodation

I may need a workplace accommodation

An accommodation may apply when you can work, but need medically supported changes such as schedule limits, reduced hours, extra breaks, lifting limits, or intermittent absences.

03 UPT

I am worried about negative UPT

Negative UPT is a common concern when medical symptoms, illness, or an unexpected health issue caused missed time. Medical documentation may be part of the response.

Go to negative UPT help
04 Return

I need return-to-work documentation

Return-to-work paperwork may clarify when you can return, whether restrictions are needed, or whether modified duty or reduced hours may be medically appropriate.

Start a paperwork request
05 Forms

I have a DLS form or provider request

Amazon employees may be asked for healthcare provider forms, physician statements, requests for information, work restriction letters, or leave certification paperwork.

06 Unsure

I am not sure which option fits

That is common. Many work-related medical situations overlap. The goal is to identify whether you need leave, accommodation support, absence documentation, or return-to-work paperwork.

Compare the options
Understand the difference

Medical leave, accommodations, UPT, and return-to-work paperwork serve different purposes.

This page is meant to help you understand the main categories before you decide what kind of documentation or support may be needed.

A practical way to think about it

Leave is usually about time away from work. Accommodation is usually about changing how work is performed. Negative UPT is usually about missed time. Return-to-work paperwork is usually about whether you can safely return and under what conditions.

Situation What it usually means Common paperwork Where to go next
Medical leave You may need time away from work because of a medical condition. Leave certification, provider form, FMLA-related paperwork, or short-term disability paperwork. Review medical leave paperwork options.
Workplace accommodation You may be able to work with medically supported changes or restrictions. Accommodation form, RFI form, work restriction letter, or provider statement. Review accommodation support.
Negative UPT You missed time and are worried about the effect on your attendance record. Doctor’s note, healthcare provider form, physician statement, or DLS-requested documentation. Visit the negative UPT help page.
Return to work You are returning after illness, injury, symptoms, or leave. Return-to-work note, work status statement, restrictions, or modified duty documentation. Upload the request or instructions you received.
Common paperwork

Forms and documentation Amazon employees may encounter.

FAQ

Amazon DLS and medical paperwork questions.

What is Amazon DLS?
Amazon DLS is commonly associated with disability, leave, accommodation, and related medical paperwork processes for Amazon employees. Employees may encounter DLS when dealing with leave, accommodations, return-to-work issues, or provider forms.
How do I know whether I need leave or an accommodation?
Medical leave usually applies when you need time away from work. A workplace accommodation usually applies when you can work, but need medically supported changes or restrictions. Some situations involve both, so it helps to look at what you need medically and what Amazon is asking you to provide.
Can Certicare help with negative UPT?
Yes, when the negative UPT concern is related to a medical issue and documentation is medically supported. Negative UPT has its own page because it is a common and urgent concern for many Amazon employees.
Do I need to already have a DLS form?
Not always. Some employees start with a form, while others start with a medical leave need, an accommodation question, missed work, or a return-to-work issue. If you do have paperwork, upload it with your request.
Do I need a video visit?
No video visit is required for most form requests. You can complete the intake online and upload any forms, messages, screenshots, or instructions.
Can Certicare guarantee Amazon will approve my request?
No. Certicare can provide medically supported documentation, but Amazon, DLS, HR, or the applicable leave administrator makes the final decision.
Can Certicare backdate paperwork?
No. Certicare cannot create fake, misleading, backdated, or post-dated documentation. Documentation must be accurate and medically supported.
