Nope. The sick leave policy for verification prior was you could verify any illness by doctor or health care pro and it never went against your hundred hours of unverified balance.
Now, unless you break a bone, or spend the night in the hospital, every other sick call goes against your 100 hour balance. And once you hit the 100 hour balance..all sick calls have to be verified after. A big loss in sick leave benefit, IMHO.
