Heading: Sengupta's Sick Leave Request

Text: On September 28, 1994, Sengupta requested that the pre-termination hearing be scheduled to accommodate his heightened stress level. He attached a letter from his physician detailing his health problems. On October 13 Sengupta requested that the pre-termination hearing be delayed for about seven/eight months due to his health problems. On October 21 Sengupta officially requested sick leave, again attaching a physician's note. Bandopadhyay responded on October 25, noting that Sengupta's current request was inadequate and that additional information was required. Sengupta failed to provide the information requested by Bandopadhyay by the November 8 deadline and the sick leave request was denied.
