Return to Work: If an employee is absent on sick leave for more than three (3) consecutive work days, the City shall require the employee to present medical evidence that the employee was under a doctor's care and is able to return to work. The City will review the attendance records of employees periodically and at least once in each three (3) month period. If it believes that an employee is developing an attendance problem, it will notify the employee in writing that medical evidence will be required for absence of one (1) day or less. When an employee's record becomes satisfactory, the requirement for such medical evidence for short term absences will be removed, and the employee will be notified in writing. C. In the event the city questions whether the employee is physically able to do the work, it shall require the employee to furnish a City supplied medical certificate from a physician supporting his claim of fitness, and the City shall have the right to have the employee examined by a doctor of its choice. If the original doctor's response is insufficiently detailed, the employee shall authorize the City to contact the doctor to secure necessary information. The charges for the second physician shall be borne by the City. SECTION 2: Jury Duty and Witness Pay: An employee called for jury duty shall be granted a leave of absence for the period of jury service and will be compensated at full pay for absences necessarily caused by the jury duty. An employee who is required to be absent from scheduled work to serve as witness called by the City of North Olmsted or by a party in litigation with the City of North Olmsted, will be paid for time lost from scheduled straight time work. Witness pay shall not be paid for purposes other than those stated herein.
