In the event of a request for interruption or termination by reason of illness, such illness must be sufficiently serious in nature to require hospitalization or confinement to bed by order of a physician. For the days of hospitalization or confinement to be credited as sick leave, the unit member must submit a verifying statement from the attending physician within thirty (30) days of the event giving rise to the request.
