The HIP system has an attachment feature for leave requests that is flexible and can be used for situations where a department policy or collective bargaining agreement requires an employee to furnish any type of document pertinent to any type of leave, such as a doctor’s note for sick time. HIP has not been designed to require a doctor’s note for sick time over a certain number of days because rules vary for collective bargaining unit members and non-members. Supervisors have the responsibility of checking the leave requests for a doctor’s note in applicable situations and “pushing back” the request if it doesn’t come with one. NOTE: Do not submit any Personal Identifiable Information (PII) as part of your leave request attachments.
