Sick Leave Reporting. a. Employees shall report to their immediate supervisor or designee their need to use sick leave prior to the start of their shift each day of their absence unless otherwise arranged. If the leave is foreseeable, employees shall give 10 days’ notice, or as early as practicable. b. Use of sick leave by non-FLSA exempt employees longer than 3 consecutive work shifts may require verification within 10 calendar days following the first day of leave, with the exception of leave for domestic violence. For FLSA exempt employees, use of sick leave may require a certificate from the employee’s health care provider, if requested by the Employing Official. c. Employees may not use or substitute sick leave when an injury or illness occurs while on previously approved leave or compensatory time. Employees may request a change of pre-approved time off prior to the beginning of that leave period if circumstances change. Any discrimination or retaliation against an employee for lawful exercise of paid sick leave rights is not allowed. Non-exempt Employees will not be disciplined for the lawful use of paid sick leave. If an employee feels they are being discriminated or retaliated against, the employee may contact the Human Resources Department.
