4.08 Notification Notification of absence due to illness shall be given as early as possible on the first day of absence. If such notification is not made, such absence may, at the discretion of the Appointing Authority, be applied to absence without pay. For any period of absence due to illness the Appointing Authority may require, for purpose of additional evidence only, a physician's certificate for the necessity of such absence. If such certificate is not filed within seven calendar days after a request is made, such absence may be applied, at the discretion of the Appointing Authority, to absence without pay. Parental sick leave for the birth or adoption of a child does not require a doctor's certificate.
The Personnel Administrator shall regularly review reports of sick leave usage within each department. The Personnel Administrator may require further evidence that such leave comes within the provisions of these rules; and if, upon examination of such evidence, the Personnel Administrator is of the opinion that said leave is not in accordance with these rules, the Personnel Administrator shall so notify the Appointing Authority. Upon receipt of such notice, said leave shall be changed from sick leave to leave without pay, to absence without pay, or to vacation leave.
