Evidence Required for Sick Leave Usage. Upon return to work an employee shall complete an application for sick leave form to justify the use of sick leave which describes the nature of the illness or injury. In addition: 1. When an employee requests paid sick leave for medical appointments or for an absence of three (3) consecutive days or more, the employee may furnish written certification from a physician, dentist, or other licensed medical practitioner stating the nature of such appointment and/or medical condition, and that such appointment and/or medical condition required the employee to be absent from work on all days in question. 2. When an employee requests paid sick leave for the date of observance of a holiday, or the day immediately preceding and/or following such date, the Employer may require the employee to furnish written certification from a licensed medical practitioner described in Section 30.2 (B)(1) above, prior to being granted sick leave. Falsification of an application for sick leave form, a medical practitioner's written certification, or any other supporting evidence (written or verbal) shall be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.
