Return-to-Work Verification. An employee returning to work after an absence requiring sick leave may be required to provide certification from his or her health care provider that the employee is able to perform the essential functions of the job with or without accommodation.
Return-to-Work Verification. For absences in excess of five (5) consecutive workdays, the employee shall notify Human Resources by the sixth (6th) day of absence and shall submit a statement from his/her physician, surgeon or other District authorized health care provider, indicating the date of authorized return to duty and work restrictions, if any. Such statement shall be dated within thirty (30) days of the employee’s return to work and shall be submitted to Human Resources prior to returning to work. The District may also require verification of absences for good cause as defined in Article 8.1.4. For absences of less than five (5) days, upon request, unit members returning to work from illness absence involving surgery or an off-work order shall be required to present a doctor’s release verifying medical permission to return to work, including any restrictions.
