So if we use 100 hours due to a broken bone, and then get a cold on hr 101, we now have to verify from that point on? Will the company pay for all of those verifications?
· Eliminates voluntary verification
As of now if we have 100 hours and use 15, but verify those 15, we return to our 100 hours of unverified leave. But based on this it sounds like we can no longer get those 15 hours back even if we verify, correct? So now we're down to 85 no matter what?
someone posted on the FB group that they asked one of the reps and the reps response is the cost to visit the doctor for the mandatory verification is on the pilot, the company will not cover it even though they require the verification.

absolutely. unless we are getting a 50% pay raise.
