EXAMINATION REQUIRED. If a question of mental or physical fitness is a determining factor in the continuing employment of an employee, the Board may require an examination by a physician of its choice. If the employee so desires, a physician of the employee’s choice, as well as a physician of the Association’s choice, paid by the Board, may be also selected for confirmation or negation examinations. The Board shall request the three physicians to confer and make a report of their findings.
EXAMINATION REQUIRED. The Employer may require that the employee submit to an examination by a licensed physician or psychologist. The Employer shall choose the examiner. If the results of such examination are disputed by the employee, the employee may obtain and submit to the Employer a second opinion through a physician or psychologist of his own choice. The employee shall be responsible for all costs involved in his own examination by the doctor of his choosing. If the two diagnoses are in conflict, there shall be a third examination by a practitioner selected jointly by the Employer’s doctor and the employee’s doctor. The Employer and employee shall divide the costs associated with the third doctor’s evaluation.
