I ask, because I hear guys make the statement you just made, yet I rarely come across someone who has actually been hassled. Actually come to think of it, I can't think of one.
I really don't care if they want a note anyways. I don't gsme the system, and if they want the note they have to pay for the Doc visit. From what I hear it simply doesn't happen. I'm happy leaving that provision intact if they leave the rest of the program alone.
Twice. Never used more than 80 hours in a year.
First time was because I called in sick for a 5-day and forgot to call in well. Had 10 days off after the trip so it hit 15 days. Had to go to my doctor and get a sick not from a month earlier. Lesson learned, call in well even if you have a ton of days off and it doesn't matter.
Second time was for "excessive" use. Called in for a 4-day. Called in well for a 2-day. Sinus issues still there, so called in for a 5-day. All of that was within a 3 week period. Tripped something because the 4-day and 5-day were worth a combined 52 hours. That was early on in the verification program. Easy to verify because I had 2 doctor visits for this one.
Wasn't hassled on either one. Sent the note in and that was it. Still makes you feel like you have done something wrong.
