Common use of Physician's Certificate Clause in Contracts

Physician's Certificate. A physician's certificate or other evidence to substantiate a sick leave charge may be required by an Employee's immediate supervisor or appointing authority if the supervisor has sufficient reason to suspect abuse. Notice of this requirement must be made known to the Employee at the time the Employee reports the illness or at the time the illness is made known to the supervisor. Absent evidence of abuse, the College shall not require the submission of a physician's statement unless the Employee has been absent from work in excess of five (5) continuous working days. If an Employee becomes ill while on vacation leave, they may charge the period of illness to sick leave rather than vacation leave by providing a physician's statement, if required. If the College has sufficient reason to believe that an Employee may be unable to perform their job duties following an injury or illness, it may require a physician’s release before the Employee is allowed to return to work.
