Common use of Physician’s Examination Clause in Contracts

Physician’s Examination. The University may require an employee to undergo an examination at University expense by an appropriate medical doctor selected by the University prior to return from medical leave or extended layoff or whenever the University has good reason to believe that the employee may be suffering from a physical, emotional, or mental illness or disability sufficiently serious to impair his/her ability to fulfill properly all the duties of his/her position. Additionally, the University may require an examination at University expense by an appropriate medical doctor selected by the University to verify whether an employee asserting that he/she is disabled from working is disabled and to what degree. The employee shall have the right to appeal the findings of the examination in either of the two instances described above by submitting findings from a medical doctor of his/her choice at his/her expense. (See paragraph 115.)
