Temporary and initial review employees are not eligible for paid sick leave but are covered by workers' compensation insurance if injured during the course of their duties.
Sick leave is designed to provide employees with protection against loss of wages due to illness.
Sick leave days may be used only for illness or scheduled appointments with doctors. Employees must notify their immediate supervisor within one hour of their scheduled starting time on any day they are unable to report to work. If the absence is caused by illness or injury, the supervisor may request a certificate from the attending physician attesting to the medical reasons for the absence and providing a medical evaluation of when the employee will be able to return to work. Certificates from attending physicians are normally requested only when there has been extensive use of sick leave, either in a single extended episode or with a series of individual absences. In such circumstances, an employee is often notified in writing that such documentation will be required.
