Invalid Request For Dr.'s Note
It has come to our attention that flight attendants
who have called off sick for 14 days or more, are being
asked to provide a Doctor's note. Please refer to section
8-3. H.1, and 8-3 H.2, and H.3 of our agreement.
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.
If you are approached by your Supervisor or are asked
to speak to one of the Company's staff nurses, please
contact your local office immediately.
