Recurrence of Disability If you become disabled for the same reason within six (6) months of your return to full-time permanent work after a long-term disability, the second disability period will be considered a continuation of the first. You will then immediately begin receiving your long-term disability benefits. If the period exceeds six months or if the new disability is not related to the first, a new claim must be filed under the Short- Term Disability Plan.
Evidence of Illness The Employer reserves the right to require any Nurse claiming sick leave to produce evidence of illness satisfactory to the Employer.
Illness injury, or pregnancy-related condition of a member of the employee’s immediate family where the employee’s presence is reasonably necessary for the health and welfare of the employee or affected family member;
Critical Illness Three (3) days per year, with pay, shall be granted in the case of a critical illness or accident to a member of the employee's immediate family as defined in Section 9.4.2. A statement by the physician verifying the need for the employee to be present with the immediate family member shall be attached to the absence form.
Serious Illness Should a participant be unable to take the leave when scheduled because of serious injury or illness occurring before commencement of the leave, he/she may cancel the leave and receive payment as in Article 12.8.3.9 or, with the consent of the College, defer the leave to a time mutually agreeable, not to exceed one (1) year.
Consequence of Termination Upon the termination of this Agreement:
Notification of Illness Nurses should notify the Medical Center of absence from work because of illness as far in advance as possible, but at least three and one-half (3 ½) hours before the start of the nurse’s shift. Repeated failure to give such minimum notification will result in reduction of otherwise payable sick leave for that shift by two (2) hours. Repeated failure as used in this section means more than twice every two years.
Verification of Illness Written verification by an approved licensed medical practitioner or other satisfactory proof of illness or family illness may be required at the discretion of the department head.
Sickness In the event that an employee requires hospitalization or is seriously ill during his/her annual vacation period, the employee shall, upon request and upon presentation of a physician's statement, apply the period of illness or hospitalization to sick leave rather than vacation, provided the sick bank is not used. The employee must inform the College of the claim within one (1) week of returning to work.
