DOCTOR’S STATEMENTS Sample Clauses
The DOCTOR’S STATEMENTS clause requires a party, typically an employee, to provide written confirmation from a licensed physician regarding their medical condition. In practice, this clause is often invoked when an employee requests medical leave or accommodations, and the employer may require a doctor’s note to verify the legitimacy of the claim. Its core function is to ensure that requests for medical leave or benefits are substantiated, thereby preventing abuse and maintaining fairness in the administration of health-related absences.
DOCTOR’S STATEMENTS. 1. The Company will not automatically require a doctor’s statement based on a specific number of sick calls.
2. The Company may require a doctor’s written confirmation of illness or injury or make personal inquiries of the type or nature of such illness or injury when the Company can demonstrate that it has reasonable cause to believe that a Flight Attendant’s use of sick leave may have been for other than legitimate reasons. Further, the cost of such doctor’s confirmation shall be borne by the Company with the understanding that a Flight Attendant may be required to submit to an examination by a doctor of the Company’s choice at a time dictated by the Company.
3. The provisions of Section 9 are established to ensure that a Flight Attendant who has sufficient sick hours shall not suffer a loss of compensation while she/he is legitimately ill or injured. A Flight Attendant who uses sick leave for other than legitimate illness or injury may be subject to disciplinary action based on the facts involved.
DOCTOR’S STATEMENTS. The Dept. Head directly supervising the employee, and/or the City Manager shall, in any instance where deemed warranted, require that a Management Group employee submit a statement from a licensed physician setting forth the specifics which necessitate the Management Group employee's absence for illness or injury purposes and shall have the right to require examination by City- appointed medical personnel at no expense to the employee.
DOCTOR’S STATEMENTS. 1. A doctor’s statement may be required for any sick occurrence in excess of four (4) occurrences during the last three hundred and sixty-five (365) days of active service calculated from the first day of the pairing for the last sick call within such occurrence. When there is no pairing associated with a sick day, e.g., reserve availability day, claiming sick on a day off, the 365 days of active service will be calculated from each sick call. Example: A Flight Attendant calls in sick on February 13, 2008. The Flight Attendant was on active status for the preceding 365 days. The Flight Attendant had called in sick for a single occurrence consisting of two trips on February 10-11 and February 12-13, 2007. The occurrence will not be considered as within 365 days as the first day of the last trip (February 12-13, 2007) is more than 365 days prior to the occurrence on February 13, 2008. Example: A Reserve calls in sick on February 13, 2008. The Reserve was on active status for the preceding 365 days. The Reserve had called in sick for four (4) days of reserve availability, without a flight assignment, on February 11-14, 2007. The four (4) days of availability will count as only one occurrence. The occurrence will be considered as within 365 days since the last day of the reserve assignment is within the 365 days.
2. Notwithstanding the above, the Company may require a doctor’s written confirmation of illness or injury or make personal inquiries of the type or nature of such illness or injury when the Company can demonstrate that it has reasonable cause to believe that a Flight Attendant’s use of sick leave may have been for other than legitimate reasons. Further, the cost of such doctor’s confirmation, pursuant to Paragraph E.1, above, and this Paragraph, shall be borne by the Company with the understanding that a Flight Attendant may be required to submit to an examination by a doctor of the Company’s choice at a time dictated by the Company.
3. The provisions of this Section are established to ensure that a Flight Attendant shall not suffer a loss of compensation while she/he is legitimately ill or injured. A Flight Attendant who uses sick leave for other than legitimate illness or injury may be subject to disciplinary action based on the facts involved.
DOCTOR’S STATEMENTS. The Department Head may, in any instance where deemed warranted, require that an employee submit a statement from a licensed physician or practitioner setting forth the specifics which necessitate the employee’s absence for injury or illness purposes and shall have the right to require examination by city-appointed medical personnel at no expense to the employee.
