Return from Sick Leave Clause Examples
The 'Return from Sick Leave' clause outlines the procedures and requirements for an employee to resume work after a period of absence due to illness. Typically, this clause specifies any documentation the employee must provide, such as a doctor's note confirming fitness to return, and may detail any notice period or steps for reintegration into the workplace. Its core function is to ensure a smooth and safe transition back to work, protecting both the employee's health and the employer's operational needs.
