Notification shall include the reason and the possible <br /> duration of the absence. <br /> <br /> Employees are responsible for keeping the Department informed of <br /> their continuing condition and probable date of retum to work. <br /> <br /> Upon return to duty, the absent employee must complete an <br /> absent report and forward it to the Fire Chief, stipulating the <br /> reason for the absence and the number of hours of sick leave use. <br /> <br /> For absences in excess of three (3) calendar days, the Fire Chief <br /> may require a physician's statement from an employee who applies <br /> for sick leave, or whatever investigation into the circumstances <br /> which appear warranted, before taking action on the request. <br /> <br /> To ascertain the propriety of claims, the following procedure shall <br /> apply: <br /> <br /> Employees who notify the Battalion Chief's office of their inability <br /> to report for duty shall report to the Battalion Chief's office where <br /> they can be reached. If the employee will be unavailable for a <br /> telephone call, the employee shall notify the Battalion Chief, or if <br /> he/she is not available, the Dispatch Center, stipulating the reason <br /> and length of time of such unavailability. <br /> <br /> An employee who is telephoned at the designated number <br /> between 0800 and 2100 hours and who fails to answer the call, <br /> shall not be paid, unless the employee has notified the Battalion <br /> Chief, as provided above. <br /> <br /> Abuse of sick leave by an employee will subject the employee to <br /> disciplinary action. <br /> <br />18.2 Limited Duty Work For An Injured Employee <br /> <br /> 18.2.1 An injured employee who is receiving medical attention for an <br /> alleged industrial injury, and who is determined to be temporarily <br /> disabled, is required to return to the department after initial <br /> treatment with a medical report indicating what, if any, limited <br /> duty the employee can perform.
