Common use of Illness/Injury/Disability Leave Clause in Contracts

Illness/Injury/Disability Leave. Leave is available in cases of illness, disability or injury to the academic employee or the academic employee's immediate family or household. a. For any leave (including leave under FMLA) for illness, disability, or injury which requires absence of ten (10) or more days, the employee may be required to provide documentation from a licensed medical provider of the necessity for the absence. Such medical certification shall include sufficient information to enable the College to determine that the employee is unable to perform the essential functions of their position and include the date on which the condition or treatment began and the probable duration of the condition. b. Medical certification must be approved by the personnel officer and shall be maintained as a confidential record separate from the employee’s personnel file. If the personnel officer does not approve the medical certification the employee (1) may either re-submit more complete documentation or (2) the College may require, at its expense, that the employee obtain the opinion of a second health care provider designated or approved by the College. In any case where the second opinion differs from the original certification and would render the employee ineligible for the leave, the College and the employee may obtain the opinion of a third health care provider designated or approved jointly by the College and the employee paid for by the College. The third opinion is final and binding. c. Family and Medical Leave 1.
