Physician’s Certification. An employee returning to work following an absence from work of five (5) or more consecutive work days due in whole or in part to personal illness/injury, paid or unpaid, must furnish the Superintendent with a statement from his/her attending physician certifying the employee’s ability to return to active working status. If the employee’s physician is unable to certify that the employee is able to resume his/her full and normal job duties without limitations, the attending physician shall provide the full particulars on any limitations/restrictions in place and the likely duration of such. In the event there are restrictions/limitations, a meeting will be held with the employee before a determination is made on whether the employee may or may not return to active working status. If as a result of this meeting the Superintendent determines that the employee can return to work with restrictions/limitations, the Superintendent and the employee will then establish the reasonable accommodations necessary, if possible, to enable the employee to do so.
