FITNESS FOR DUTY / RETURN TO WORK. The Employer will require the nurse to present satisfactory medical evidence if she were absent from work due to a disability, whether the disability is medical, physical or resulting from a work-related injury. The purposes for requesting such verification of the disability-related absence are to ensure that the nurse is physically fit to return to work and so that the absence can be verified so as not to count as an incident of absence under the Employer’s Absence Monitoring Program. The cost of the required examination(s) shall be paid by the Employer. The Employer may require presentation of satisfactory medical evidence from the nurse’s licensed physician, or at the Employer’s discretion, from a licensed physician on the Employer’s staff, when the nurse has current Corrective Action on file as a result of her absences, or when the nurse has taken sick time in association with denied vacation or floating holiday request, or when sick time taken due to illness or injury requires the nurse to be off from work for five (5) consecutive workdays or more.
