Common use of Physical and/or Mental Examination Clause in Contracts

Physical and/or Mental Examination. In any situation where the physical or mental fitness of the bus driver to perform is in question, to include but not be limited to situations of pregnancy, return from sick leave, or return from health and hardship leave, the Board may require a statement from the bus driver’s physician. The Board reserves the right, at its option, to have the bus driver’s physician’s findings and recommendation reviewed by a Board designated physician, who may make an independent examination of the bus driver at the Board’s expense. If the Board’s physician’s recommendation as to the bus driver’s fitness differs from the bus driver’s physician’s recommendation, the Board’s physician will consult with the bus driver’s physician in an effort to produce a uniform recommendation. Should they be unable to agree, the bus driver will be referred to a third physician, mutually acceptable to both the Board’s and bus driver’s physicians, and the third physician’s recommendation shall be controlling.
