We require all team members who have missed 3 or more days to be cleared by Employee Health. We have a designated "nurse clinic phone" that our off site areas use as we can provide many clearances
over the phone.
We have good compliance as our division also has oversight of FMLA, medical, personal and military leaves so we can capture those who have not been cleared in most cases. Some do slip through,
but we work with our leadership to correct that.

Our policy is that if an employee has missed 3 or more days for illness/medical need then they are to be cleared by employee health or House Supervisor if it’s after hours. It is a struggle, as many employees
and managers don’t think to do this. We document all call-ins not just infectious.

Hello colleagues –
I know I do both Infection Control and Employee Health, but lately I have had many “I am not infectious” comments from staff about when they have missed work.
I also very rarely am included in the information when an employee is out for an extended surgery, and although it is policy that when the doctor releases them to come back to work they are supposed to be cleared
by Employee Health, very few of the staff has come in to check with me for being released to come back to work…
I am reminded of this with the recent orthotic boot question, as people have come back to work with boots, slings and little scooters and while I have been lucky that they are able to work in their departments,
there will be a time where it will not be appropriate to allow someone to work in a certain department with these extra needs.
I just want to verify with others – do you have staff report to you if they are going to be out extended for a surgery? And do you only log “Infectious” call ins on your sick log? I feel mine should be all call
ins, but maybe I am over exaggerating my role.
