Physician's Verification. At the Agency Head or designee's discretion, the employee may be required to provide a statement, from a physician, who has examined the employee or the member of the employee's immediate family, for all future illness.

Those employees who have been required to provide a physician's verification will be considered for approval only if the physician's verification is provided within three (3) days after returning to work.
