Medical justification definition
Medical justification as used in this section shall include but not be limited to a physician's statement verifying the illness and the dates involved. The use of sick leave on a chronic and sporadic basis for the illness of an employee's child where the employee's presence is reasonably necessary for the health and welfare of the child in and of itself shall constitute "cause" to initiate a Challenge Conference if there was no use of sick leave for other illness as a part of the pattern and which resulted in the use of "rollover" paid time or unpaid sick leave for illness. This procedure shall not apply in the event of a reoccurring medical problem due to personal or family illness requiring the use of sick leave on a chronic and sporadic basis provided the need for leave is verified by a statement from the employee's treating physician including his/her diagnosis, and the employee meets with his/her immediate supervisor to discuss possible accommodation to the work schedule at the employee's first awareness of the reoccurring nature of his/her medical condition.
