Under the premise that the best defense is a good offense I’d call them directly and inquire about their “good faith” basis.
They did not say, and I'm not going to go into detail here other than to say, it was a scripted message that the CPO read. I know this because I made a phone call and asked someone who went through something similar a while back. The PWA specifies there will be a discussion as to why there was a sick call, there wasn't, a VM was left (because I don't answer the phone from numbers I don't know), I called back to explain the situation, but it fell on deaf ears...I had no problem giving them a note, because I was at that time, legitimately sick, but I did have a problem with them asking for this after 2 years of being a good employee with no sick call and no other issues I know of...to me it sets a precedent, and an undesirable one to say the least.
If I had to guess it's a directive from someone either on 4th floor or the RD, no way to know...
