Common use of Sick Leave Request Clause in Contracts

Sick Leave Request. Whenever possible, employees must submit their request for sick leave to their immediate supervisor in advance of the absence.

Supervisors shall be required to answer all requests for sick leave promptly. Employees using leave under this Section shall furnish a statement from a medical practitioner upon the request of the Appointing Authority for absences in excess of three (3) work days, or when the Appointing Authority has a reasonable basis to believe that an employee has abused or is abusing sick leave. The Appointing Authority may also request a statement from a medical practitioner if the Appointing Authority has reason to believe the employee is not physically fit to return to work or has been exposed to a contagious disease which endangers the health of other employees, clients or the public.
