Where documentation may be required Sample Clauses

Where documentation may be required. An Employee's access to Paid Personal Need Leave may be withheld in the following circumstances: • Where the Employee on more than two (2) occasions fails to notify Council without a valid reason, of their need to take leave in accordance with Clause 7.2 above; or • Where an Employee has been counselled about their behaviour and continues to engage in inappropriate behaviour • For any valid and good reason that the Council may have. (eg patterns of absences from work, regular and or same days off) In these instances, the issues will be discussed with the employee before a final decision is made. At this point no medical certificate or other form of evidence will be required retrospectively, but may be requested in advance for future absences. In the absence of appropriate documentation being provided, Personal Need Leave may not be paid and the absence from work will be seen as unauthorised. Where evidence for an absence is required, the employee may provide either a medical certificate (including, as best as possible, the date on which an employee is fit to resume duty), a Statutory Declaration or another form of advice that can reasonably substantiate the reason for the absence to Council’s satisfaction.
