In fact, I actually hope the previous green slip shadow trip provision is included because that was 100% fair and would at least de-incentivize at least some theoretical abuse. It would put to bed the colloquial wisdom that getting a GS after a sick call is automatic abuse, which is BS. Guys who have blanket GS requests in and who do a lot and then get one after a sick anyway can't possibly be viewed as suspicious, otherwise don't allow them to put in for it.
Yup. As far as the sick note, I agree absolutely. If they force me to get it, they pay for it. And since it takes me awhile to get in to see my Dr, it might take awhile.
I don't know enough about the GS thing of which you speak to comment.
