Common use of Health Exam Clause in Contracts

Health Exam. The Board may establish from time to time requirements for health examinations and testing for reasons related to appointment, claims for Worker's Compensation, disability, and other employment related reasons at the Board's expense. Such request shall not violate the constitutional rights of any member of the bargaining unit. In the event an employee, upon request by the Board, elects not to have a health examination performed by one of three (3) physician(s) suggested by the Board, the requirement may be fulfilled by any other medical physician licensed to practice medicine in the State of Ohio and practicing medicine in Lake or an adjacent county. Exams requested by the Board during the work year shall be done during paid released time from duties with no loss of sick or other leave time provided herein. However, if an employee elects the described alternative to examination by a Board selected physician, the Board will only pay the cost it pays its regularly appointed physician(s). The Board shall retain the right to seek a second opinion to a report issued by an employee-selected physician. The employee, likewise, may seek a second opinion to a report issued by a Board physician(s). In either event the Board shall appoint a physician who shall confer with the employee's selected physician and the two shall recommend a third physician. The cost of examination by the physician so selected shall be borne by the Board.
