Proof of Illness Sample Clauses
The Proof of Illness clause requires an individual to provide evidence, such as a medical certificate or doctor's note, to verify that an absence or claim is due to illness. Typically, this clause applies to employees requesting sick leave or to parties seeking to excuse non-performance under a contract because of health reasons. Its core function is to prevent abuse of illness-related provisions by ensuring that claims of illness are legitimate and properly documented.

A Board may request medical confirmation of illness or injury and any restrictions or limitations any Employee may have, confirming the dates of absence and the reason thereof (omitting a diagnosis).

The medical confirmation may be required to be provided on a form prescribed by the Board. Where an Employee does not provide medical confirmation as requested, or otherwise declines to participate and/or cooperate in the administration of the Sick Leave Benefit Plan, access to compensation may be suspended or denied. Before access to compensation is denied, discussion will occur between the Union and the school board. Compensation will not be denied for the sole reason that the medical practitioner refuses to provide the required medical information. A school Board may require an independent medical examination to be completed by a medical practitioner qualified in respect of the illness or injury of the Board’s choice at the Board’s expense. In cases where the Employee’s failure to cooperate is the result of a medical condition, the Board shall consider those extenuating circumstances in arriving at a decision.
