§ 2-40. Periodic status reports.

(a)

If an employee is certified by a health care provider to be off work, the employee is required to submit periodic status reports to his/her supervisor to report the employee's status and intention to return to work. Such status reports are required at the time of each scheduled visit with the treating health care provider and are due immediately following the visit.

(b)

A "return to work status report" form is attached to this procedure for this purpose. The status report should be provided to the supervisor within twenty-four (24) hours after the scheduled visit, or if a weekend or holiday is involved, before close of business on the next scheduled workday as applicable.

(c)

If an employee has returned to work in a temporary assignment, and follow-up healthcare provider appointments are necessary, the employee shall schedule the appointments to minimize time away from the job.
