Acceptable Medical Documentation Clause Samples

Acceptable Medical Documentation. An Employee not under leave restriction who is absent due to illness, injury, or incapacitation will not be required to furnish a medical certificate from a health care practitioner or other administratively acceptable evidence to support his/her absence unless the absence exceeds five consecutive workdays or there is reason to question the absence (i.e., previously denied annual leave for the same day) To be acceptable, the medical documentation must be on the physician’s stationary and contain an original signature of a licensed health care practitioner. The documentation must state the dates of the absence and the nature of the incapacitation. The medical documentation should normally be submitted the first workday upon the Employee’s return to work. If the absence will be for an extended period of time, the Employee may be required to submit acceptable medical documentation prior to his/her return to work.
