This is absolutely correct. The definitions in the sick leave section define an occurrence as the period between when you call in sick and call in well. No time period. 240 hours would just be one long sick occurrence.
The 100/160 limits only look at sick time in completed bid months and previous occurrences....not the current bid month or an "in progress" occurrence. For example, if you were sick for two months....first month for 75 hours and the next month for 75 hours, and then called in well. Then you called in sick a second time in the second month, no verification would be required because you had only 75 hours in "completed bid months".
No real way for a GFB here. The PWA specifically prohibits GFBing people about the length and frequency of their sick leave (as the sole reason). Sure, the CPO could probably call, but unless they had a legit GFB, that's all it would be.
