Medical Certification Statement. An application for leave based on the serious health condition of the employee or the employee's spouse, child, parent or member of the immediate household must be accompanied by a Medical Certification Statement completed by a health care provider. The certification must state the date on which the health condition commenced, the probable duration of the condition, and the appropriate medical facts regarding the condition. If leave is for the care of a family member, it should also estimate the amount of time that the employee will be needed to care for the patient. If leave is for the employee's own health condition, certification should also state that the employee is unable to perform the functions of his or her own position. The District may require the employee to obtain a second medical opinion at District expense. If the two medical opinions conflict, the opinion of a third medical provider, approved jointly by the employee and the District, may be required at District expense, and the third opinion will be final and binding. If additional leave is requested beyond the period stated in the certification, the District may require recertification in accordance with these procedures.
