Absence Records. The district will maintain records pertaining to an absence policy. An incidence of absence is defined as one day of nonattendance which invokes the use of a sick day or results in an unpaid absence, except for an approved Family Medical Leave or any other pre-approved leave of absence. In cases of absences of three (3) or more consecutive work days due to illness or injury, the District may require a physician's statement certifying that the employee's condition prevented him/her from appearing for work, and indicating that the employee is fit to return to full duty. If the District requires a physician's statement from an employee, the District will reimburse the employee for the employee's examination by the physician if the physician determines that the employee's condition prevented the employee from appearing for work, to the extent that the employee's examination is not covered by insurance. In such a circumstance, the District's obligation to reimburse the employee will only be limited to the cost of examination, not to any tests or procedures undertaken during, or as a result of, the examination. Abuse of sick leave may result in discipline up to and including discharge. Abuse of sick leave may be evidenced by patterns of sick leave use, excessive numbers of days taken, or use of sick leave for inappropriate purposes. If an employee exceeds the number of incidents of absence permitted in Article 9.1 in a given work year, the employee may be subject to disciplinary procedures which can include discharge.
