Common use of Permission for Consultation Clause in Contracts

Permission for Consultation.

However, the Superintendent or his/her designee, applying reasonable standards, may have a health care provider representing the BSC contact the employee's health care provider, with the employee's permission, for purposes of clarification and authenticity of the medical certification. The employee gives such permission via e-mail or by a hard copy with signature and date. Refusal to give permission will result in no sick leave benefit.
