Applying for Sick Leave

Sick leave is a guaranteed right. It does not require prior approval.

If you are sick, call subfinder and book a TOC for the portion of time you are likely to be absent. If it is indeterminate, then use your best judgment. For longer term absences the Board may request medical evidence to support the continuation of your absence. They cannot ask for retroactive evidence. You are not required to give your principal details of your medical condition, and there is no need to complete a Leave of Absence form.Read more
