MEMORANDUM
Human Resources Policy
Subject: Changes to Sick Leave Policy
Date: January 4, 20--
The following changes apply to all regular
full-time and part-time employees as of January 12:
1. Ail employees must notify supervisors three days
in advance for routine medical appointments (including
dental appointments). Electrofile continues to encourage
you to make your appointments outside of working hours,
but acknowledges that this is not always possible.
2. All employees who miss work due to a sick family
member must provide a medical note at the supervisor's
request. To avoid a loss of pay, documentation must
be addressed to the supervisor of the correct department,
and presented within five days of returning to work.
Note: Student and contract workers do
not qualify for paid sick days and are not required
to give advance notice for medical leave. A phone call
to report any planned or emergency absence is requested.
Maple Medical Clinic
To Whom It May Concern,
At 9:15 a.m. on January 15, I examined seven-year old
Keiko, daughter of your employee, Ai Tanaka. Keiko was
in my office after experiencing stomach pains on the
night of January 14. I diagnosed Keiko with a severe
case of food poisoning. It is necessary to excuse Ai
Tanaka from work until January 18, as Keiko will require
time away from school to recover.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kenji Ito, Pediatrician
