Justification of Sick Leave. The employee shall furnish a written statement on the leave form supplied by the employer to justify the use of sick leave.

If absence due to illness or injury exceeds three (3) consecutive working days, the Employer requires the employee to obtain a certificate from a physician or nurse practitioner and shall furnish a written statement on the leave form supplied by the employer justifying the sick leave. The failure to present such a certificate from a physician or nurse practitioner and/or written signed statement on the leave form supplied by the employer shall result in loss of pay for the time absent.
