VI. Return to Work Certification

  1. Return to Work Certification
    Employees granted a leave, paid or unpaid, of 30 calendar days or more for medical reasons other than pregnancy disability, must also provide a return to work certification. However, a supervisor may require a return to work certification for absences of less than 30 calendar days when it appears to be justified.

    The employee must be provided with the UCSC Leave of Absence Return to Work Certification form. While the employee must provide the required information, the employee may not be required to return this specific form. Note: Worker’s Compensation laws require a medical release to return to work for all absences of three (3) days or more due to a work-related illness or injury.
