Sick Leave Reporting and Verification. A nurse must promptly notify his or her supervisor on the first day of sick leave and each day after, unless there is mutual agreement to do otherwise. If the nurse is in a position where a relief replacement is necessary, the nurse shall make every effort to notify his or her supervisor or designated contact at least two (2) hours prior to his or her scheduled time to report to work (excluding leave taken for emergencies in accordance with the Domestic Violence Leave law). Nurses will complete a leave request form for any sick leave taken immediately upon his or her return to work. A nurse returning to work after any sick leave absence may be required to provide written certification from his or her health care provider when there is cause to suspect sick leave abuse; to assist agencies in protecting the nurses from returning to work too soon following an illness or injury; or to protect fellow employees or clients from contagious illness. A medical certificate must be required if the reason for the personal illness, as cited in Section 17.2 of this Article, continued for more than ten (10) continuous work days. Failure to provide a written medical certificate, when required, may result in the absence being treated as unauthorized leave without pay, which may be cause for disciplinary action.
