Specific Procedures. 1. Employees are expected to begin work at the start of their scheduled workday. When an employee is absent or tardy, they are expected to report to their immediate supervisor or other designated person the absence or tardy and the date and time they expect to return. This must be completed within the time frame specified in respective union agreement, department guidelines, or policy manual. 2. If an employee cannot return to work by the estimated return date, he must notify his immediate supervisor or other designated person providing the same information as stated above in paragraph 1. If an employee believes his absence may be covered under Family Medical Leave (see Sylvania Township Family Medical Leave Policy), he should contact the Township Administration Office. 3. Employees shall be required to complete a form within the Township’s computer payroll program, justifying the time off, within 24 hours of their return to work. 4. Employees may request a medical leave of absence when an injury or illness extends for more than three (3) consecutive calendar days. The Employee shall make every reasonable attempt to furnish their department head or designee a statement from their physician (stating the nature of the illness, the days of required absence and a return to work date) no later than the 4th day of absence. Employees returning to work after an injury or illness attended by a physician may be required to present a fitness for duty certificate or a physician’s statement indicating the employee is capable of performing their regular duties. The Department Head must request said fitness for duty certificate within 7 business days from the employee’s return date. 5. Any absence from duty as a result of claimed illness or injury may be investigated during normal working hours. Employees who fail to comply with Section (B) 1 - 4 above or who demonstrate a pattern of questionable absences may not be paid for the time off and may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge. An employee, while on approved sick leave and disabled from performing physical work, shall not engage in other physical employment without prior approval from the Department Head. Falsification of either a written, signed statement or a physician’s certificate shall be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
