Federation, AFL-CIO
Dear Mr. Brynien:
This will confirm our mutual understanding of the provisions of Article 30, Verification of Doctor's Statement, Section 30.3, of the 2007-2011 State/PEF Agreement.
The provision in Section 30.3 that medical information provided by an employee's physician in describing the cause of the employee's absence be brief in nature applies only to that part of the medical documentation which is the diagnosis. There is no restriction on other relevant information which would support use of sick leave credits, such as prognosis, expected date of return or other information properly required under the provisions of the New York State Attendance Rules.
For the State:
John Currier
Deputy Director for Contract Negotiation and Administration
Governor's Office of
Employee Relations
For PEF:
President
