EXTENDED SICK LEAVE

When an employee uses five or more consecutive days of sick leave, he/she is expected to obtain a statement from his/her physician indicating the reason for his/her extended absence and an anticipated date he/she will return to work.  Additional documentation may be requested as determined by the nature of an employee's health as related to their extended absence.  A separate note is required from the physician stating that the employee is able to return to work.  This physician's statement should be sent to the Office of the Superintendent prior to, or on the day of, his/her return to work.
