Reinstatement or Transfer of Accumulated Sick Leave. 5 For purposes of this Section, the term “reasonable cause” means that the Employer has obtained information or has observed that the employee is abusing/misusing sick leave. The application of “reasonable cause,” as set forth herein, will not serve to delay or deter the Employer from taking necessary action to address the abuse or misuse of sick leave. Hence, the Employer need not demonstrate at the outset that it has obtained information or that it has observed that the employee is abusing or misusing sick leave. Rather, “reasonable cause,” as herein applied, means that the Employer agrees not to require an employee to furnish medical certification from a physician or other licensed healthcare provider unless it has a basis to believe that the employee is abusing or misusing sick leave.
