The department head or designee shall approve sick leave only after having ascertained that the absence is for an authorized reason and may require the employee to submit reasonable substantiating evidence, including, but not limited to, a physician's certificate when the department head or designee has an identifiable reason to suspect the absence.

C. Employees with one hundred sixty (160) accrued hours who subsequently have perfect attendance for the next twelve month period will receive an attendance bonus of forty (40) hours pay or vacation accrual. Once the twelve month period begins to run at the time the 160 hours are accrued, an employee may still qualify for the attendance bonus if within that one year period the employee has a single absence of five (5) consecutive work days or more, and a physician documents to the University that the absence is the result of illness or injury. Despite the treatment of this single incident as a non-event for the purposes of the attendance bonus, the absence is otherwise treated as any other similar absence — for example, an incident is recorded, sick time is charged, and the days off do not count toward the 12 months of service required for the attendance bonus. The days off during an approved leave of absence will be treated as a non-event for the purposes of the attendance bonus, however, they will not count toward the 12 months of service required for the attendance bonus. An employee may still qualify for the attendance bonus if within that one year period the employee has an absence of less than five (5) consecutive work days, that was due to injuries incurred during the course of employment, that were properly reported pursuant to section 12.7 Worker's Compensation. Such absences will count toward the 12 months of service required for the attendance bonus. If such an absence is five (5) consecutive work days or more, it will still be treated as a non-event for the purposes of the attendance bonus, however, it will not count toward the 12 months of service required for the attendance bonus.
