Reporting and investigating sickness, together with other miscellaneous factors relative to sick leave, shall be handled as follows:
(A) Reporting of Sickness. Employees, except Police and Fire employees, who are absent from duty for reasons which entitle them to sick leave shall insure that their respective supervisors are notified within two hours after their usual reporting time, if physically able to do so. Upon return to work the employee shall immediately submit to his supervisor an authorization-for-leave form. Police and fire employees shall notify their respective supervisors before their scheduled duty.
(B) Medical Certificate. A medical statement may be required for any absence chargeable to sick leave; such statement shall normally be required for sick leave in excess of five workdays.
