The Company will provide you regular notification of your available sick leave balance. Notice If the need for leave is foreseeable, you must provide notice at least 10 days, or as early as practical, before the first day sick leave is used. If unforeseeable, provide notice as soon as practical before the required start of your shift. If known, notice should include the expected length of the absence. Documentation For absences exceeding three days, you may be required to provide verification that your use of sick leave is for an authorized purpose. Verification must be provided within 10 days after the first day of absence. Verification may not be required if it results in an unreasonable burden or expense to you and may not exceed privacy or verification requirements otherwise established by law.
