Common use of Granting sick leave Clause in Contracts

Granting sick leave. The employer shall grant sick leave on pay with the following conditions: While a medical certificate will not normally be required for leave of up to five days, where it is considered warranted, an employer may require a principal to produce a medical certificate or other evidence satisfactory to the employer. For sick leave within three consecutive calendar days (whether or not the days would otherwise be working days for the principal) the employer may inform the principal that proof of sickness or injury is required and, if so, the employer will agree to meet the employee’s reasonable expenses in obtaining the proof. When a period of sick leave exceeds five school days a medical certificate from a registered medical or dental practitioner must be provided to the employer. If the principal cannot obtain a medical or dental certificate other evidence satisfactory to the employer may be provided. When a period of sick leave exceeds 14 days an employer may require the principal to provide a medical certificate from a registered medical or dental practitioner stating the expected date the principal will be able to return to work. The employer may require the principal to provide further medical certificates should the sick leave continue beyond the expected date of return stated in this or subsequent medical certificates. When a period of sick leave exceeds 14 days the employer may require the principal to obtain a second medical opinion from an independent registered medical or dental practitioner nominated by the employer and agreed to by the principal provided that such agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld. The cost of a second medical opinion will be met by the employer.
