Is that 5 one-day trips? or 5 five-day trips? I don't use much sick time, but I hate the feeling of not being trusted by the company to do the right thing.
I think verification can be required if our for 15 consecutive work days. But I need to look to verify that.
I still don't see how the new policy is concessionary. Nothing stops them from asking for verification at any point under the old policy. They could call for verification on your first used sick hour of the year. You now get 100 hours of "no questions asked" sick usage.
So how is the new policy concessionary? I'm not trying to be argumentative here. I just don't see the concessionary side of the new policy.
