Medical Evidence Satisfactory to the Employer. The Employer reserves the right to require medical evidence satisfactory to the Employer for the purpose of verification of absence due to sickness or disability or for the purpose of determining fitness or unfitness to work. Whenever an employee has completed a five (5) month period of service without absence due to sickness or disability, he or she shall not be required to provide a doctor's certificate for the first subsequent absence due to sickness or disability of two (2) consecutive working days or less but not to exceed two occasions in any 12 month period. This shall in no way preclude the Employer's right to a satisfactory verbal explanation for such absence from the employee.
