If the employee anticipates that the absence will exceed one (1) work day, the employee shall notify the supervisor or the supervisor’s designee of the anticipated length of the absence so as to allow the University time to reassign specific duties during the employee’s absence. Employees who are approved by a designated representative of the University or department for a specific period of time for use of sick leave, shall not be required to call in every day. In order to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), the Family and Medical Benefit Trust and/or Leave Act (“FMLA”), workers’ compensation statutes, and similar statutes, the University reserves the right to request and collect relevant medical information from an employee or that employee’s physician in a manner that is authorized by and consistent with the provisions of those statutes. Accordingly, it may be necessary at times for the University (including supervisory personnel) to request and obtain medical information about an employee to determine whether that employee is disabled within the meaning of the ADA, whether a reasonable accommodation exists for a disabled employee, whether the employee has a serious health condition within the meaning of the FMLA, whether the employee has sustained a compensable injury, and so forth. Any medical information obtained regarding an employee will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed except to the extent permitted or required under the relevant statutes or an administrative or judicial order. Failure to make this notification to the appropriate supervisor or his/her/their designee may disallow the use of Sick Leave.

The employee's supervisor may require the employee to provide evidence to substantiate the reason for the absence, including a physician's certificate, if the absence exceeds three (3) consecutive work days or if the supervisor has sufficient justification to believe that the employee does not have a valid reason for requesting Sick Leave. An employee who requests or is on extended leave for illness, injury, or disability including maternity may be required to visit a health care provider or provide a medical opinion acceptable to management for the purpose of supporting the leave, its continuance, or the employee’s ability to return to work.

The parties recognize that voicemail is not proper notification. The department will ensure that all employees are informed in writing of the call-in procedures that must be followed. The University recognizes that, in certain unexpected emergency situations, employees may be unable to notify their department in advance that they will be unable to work. In such emergency situations, the employee will be expected either to arrange for someone else to notify the department in advance that the employee will be unable to work or to contact the department themselves as soon as possible thereafter. If an employee recognizes in advance that they will not be able to attend work as scheduled, but will be unable to adhere to the regular call-in procedures (because, for example, the employee will be undergoing a medical procedure at the time that they normally should be calling in), the employee may contact the department in advance by contacting and speaking by telephone with a designated member of the department’s management. Where it is anticipated that the absence will be for more than one (1) day, the employee shall notify the supervisor of the anticipated length of the absence to allow time to reassign specific duties during the employee's absence. Failure to make this notification to the appropriate supervisor or his/her/their designee may disallow the use of Sick Leave.

Adjustments to the rate and/or method of Sick Leave accrual will be made at any time that an employee's working conditions are changed so as defined to provide equal treatment in accordance with University policy for civil service employees. When an employee moves to a workweek of a different length, such as to a thirty seven and one-half (37½) hour week from a forty (40) hour week, his/her/their Sick Leave accrual will be converted from hours to days and reconverted to hours under the new workweek schedule. An employee with a part-time appointment may use his/her/their accumulated ▇▇▇▇ Leave for the reasons set forth in Policy 10 during any workweek for his/her/their hours of absence. However, the actual hours worked by the California Pension Reform Act of 2013), all or a portion employee during the workweek plus his/her/their Sick Leave usage cannot exceed his/her/their benefit rate (percent time) multiplied by the full-time work schedule of the accrued Sick Leave may be credited to the EMPLOYEE’S PERS Retirement in order for said EMPLOYEE to retire early.class.
