Notice If the need for leave is foreseeable, you must provide at least seven days’ advance notice and make reasonable efforts to schedule the leave so it does not unduly disrupt Company operations. If unforeseeable, provide notice as soon as practical. You will not be required to search for or secure a replacement worker as a condition for using sick leave. Documentation If leave is being used for more than three consecutive days, the Company may require reasonable documentation establishing that the leave is being used for a qualifying reason. You must provide documentation within 15 days of the request. You will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses you incur in obtaining the documentation. Documentation signed by a healthcare professional indicating that earned sick leave is necessary will be considered reasonable documentation. In cases of domestic violence or sexual assault, the following will be considered reasonable documentation: A police report indicating that you or your family member was a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault. A signed statement from a victim and witness advocate affirming that you or your family member are receiving services from a victim services organization. A court document indicating that you or your family member are involved in legal action related to domestic violence or sexual assault. The Company will not require disclosure of details relating to domestic violence or sexual assault or the details of your or your family member’s medical condition as a condition of providing medical leave. If the Company obtains health information or information pertaining to domestic violence or sexual assault about you or your family member, the Company will treat that information as confidential and will not disclose that information except to you or with your permission. Payment upon Termination You will not be paid for any unused, accrued sick leave when your employment ends. Transfers If you transfer to another division, entity, or location, you will retain all unused, accrued sick leave and may use it as described in this policy.
