It is definitely a points based system, however, some things might change the number of points assigned. Now when a doctors note is required, you go through the insite system and have a “conversation” with both company medical and management, though I doubt management gets much into the conversation. You submit your note to company medical, they ignore it for a week until you repetitively send them messages asking if they got it, and then if they decide it’s adequate, they assign you one point for the sick event. At last that’s my understanding. Don’t know how many points (if any) is assigned to a Covid event.
