Sickness. Any employee off duty on account of illness or injury may be re- quired to produce a doctor’s certificate indicating date(s) of all clini- cal assessments, current medical restrictions and fitness to resume (or not resume) to regular or alternate duties. For non-occupational in- jury or illness of 15 consecutive work days or more or when return- ing to work with medical restrictions after a non-occupational injury or illness of any length of time, the employee must submit written authorization from their physician to the Health Services Section prior to the return to work date providing the above information. The employee may be required to visit the Health Services Section for a Return To Work health assessment. To be eligible for SBA benefits, an employee will not be required to provide a medical note for the first five days of absence in each cal- endar year for sickness or injury.
