Your Rights Regarding Dr.'s Note!
H.1.
A doctor's statement may be requested for any sick
occurrence
in excess of five (5) occurrences during any
continuous
active twelve (12) month period.
2.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company may require
a
physician's written confirmation of illness or injury
or
make personal inquiries of the type or nature of such
illness
or injury when a supervisor can demonstrate he/she
has
reasonable cause to believe that an individual flight
attendant's
use of sick leave may have been for other
than
legitimate reasons. Further, the cost of such physician's
confirmation,
pursuant to Paragraph H.1. above and this
Paragraph,
shall be borne by the Company with the understanding
that
a flight attendant may be required to see a physician
of
the Company's choice and at a time dictated by the
Company.
3.
The provisions of this Section are established to ensure
that
a flight attendant shall not suffer a loss of compensation
while
he/she is legitimately ill or disabled. A flight
attendant
who uses sick leave for other than legitimate
illness
or disability may be subject to disciplinary action
based
on the facts involved.
