Personal/Sick or Carer's Leave
Employees must personally notify their Manager as soon as reasonably practicable and, wherever possible, before their scheduled shift begins.
Notification should include the expected period of absence. Sending only a leave form, text message to another employee or arranging a replacement does not replace the requirement to notify the Manager directly.
A medical certificate or other satisfactory evidence may be required:
- for an absence of one day or more;
- where the employee has been advised that evidence is required;
- where there is a pattern of absences, including before or after weekends, public holidays or approved leave; or
- where Iconic otherwise reasonably requests evidence.
