Common use of Doctor Certification Clause in Contracts

Doctor Certification. Certification of an attending physician or practitioner may be required by the Employer to support the employee’s claim for paid leave if the employee is absent in excess of three (3) days, or if the Employer has evidence that the employee is abusing paid leave for illness or injury. Additional cost, if any, of such certification shall be paid by the Employer. The Employer may also require such certificate from an employee to determine whether the employee should be allowed to return to work, where the Employer has reason to believe that the employee's return to work would be harmful to either the employee or to others.
