Common use of Supporting Evidence Clause in Contracts

Supporting Evidence. An employee unable to attend for duty must ensure their manager is advised as soon as reasonably practicable. Failure to do so may result in the absence being treated as an unauthorised absence. Supporting evidence for Personal/Carers Leave will be required for absences in excess of 3 consecutive days (incl. a weekend) or an aggregate of 6 individual days in a 12 month period. A certificate from a registered physiotherapist, registered medical practitioner, registered Pharmacist, registered chiropractor, registered dentist, registered osteopath, registered optometrist, registered naturopath, registered clinical or counselling psychologist or a statutory declaration by the employee shall be accepted as proof of illness. In the absence of such proof, the period of absence from duty shall be without pay or, at the request of the employee, shall be deducted from the Annual leave credits of the employee.
