Common use of Certificate Required Clause in Contracts

Certificate Required. Payment for absence from work that in any instance exceeds 2 consecutive days where the employee is ill or exceeds 1 day for carers’ leave shall be contingent upon production by the employee concerned of either a certificate from a duly qualified medical practitioner or other evidence of illness satisfactory to Ipswich City Council. All employees who are unable to attend work due to illness or carers’ responsibilities on any workday or shift shall notify their immediate Supervisor or Branch Manager of their inability to attend work as soon as possible but in any event, within half an hour of their normal starting time for the day or shift on which they are absent and shall unless exceptional circumstances exist, advise of the reason for the absence and of the expected duration of such absence. For carers’ leave, the name of the person requiring care and their relationship to the employee must also be provided. Failure to provide this information may result in the non-payment of Leave for that absence. In cases where an employee's record of attendance at work deteriorates to a point where it can be deemed to be unsatisfactory, Council may introduce a system whereby the employee will be required to produce satisfactory evidence, which may include a doctor's certificate before payment of any sick/carers leave is made. Prior to implementing this requirement, Council must meet to discuss the employee’s attendance record and their concerns. The employee must be advised that they may be accompanied by a union representative at this meeting
