Common use of Calling in Sick Clause in Contracts

Calling in Sick. When unable to report to work, a Flight Attendant must contact the Scheduling Department as soon as she/he becomes aware that she/he is unfit for duty on a Scheduled Duty Day or on a Scheduled Day Off on which she/he is on call-out assignment. At the time that the Flight Attendant calls in sick she/he will specify the number of days she/he wishes to be taken off duty and placed on sick leave. During the requested sick leave period, the Flight Attendant will notify the Scheduling Department of any extension or reduction of the requested sick leave period and provide a new anticipated date of return to duty. If the Company contacts a Flight Attendant while she/he is serving Reserve duty and the Flight Attendant states she/he cannot report due to illness, Injury, etc., the Flight Attendant’s status will be considered a “failed trip” and the Flight Attendant will not receive sick leave pay for that day.
