So, first off there is not now nor is there any release of you medical records. Ever. That release is so that the doctor can communicate with DHS.
So, for example let us say that you pulled your back out on tuesday.
You have a trip on Thursday.
You are hitting day 15 on Thursday to call in sick.
Your doctor sends a verification to DHS that says, "back pain".
DHS asks for more information, specifics.
Preceding days come into play because you went to see your doctor on Tuesday. Your sick count starts Thursday.
DHS gets another note from your doctor that says,"Denny came to me for a back strain, I prescribed him pills that prohibit him for flying for a few days, expected return on Saturday."
That is the extent of the verification.
And that return date is not a binding date. Its just an idea of your return to work only.
Hope that helps.
That is complete and utter hogwash. There is no verbiage in the TA that supports your spin. I know damn well you've seen the sick leave permission slip we'll need to submit. Say, weren't you supposed to be objective?
Why don't you tell us what happens if you are unlucky enough to be out for more than 24 days in any rolling 365? Tell us what we are compelled to release to Delta's third party sick leave hatchet crew.
Here's your chance to prove you're being objective. Don't blow it.
