medical certificate
the act states that an employee does not need to supply a medical certificate if the employee is away from work for 3 calendar days or less. this removes any unfairness in requiring an employee to supply a costly medical certificate when taking a short time off work. however, the act states 3 calendar days, and not work days, so even taking off just 1 day off work, and that is either a friday or a monday, technically would require a medical certificate. furthermore, the act was later amended that an employer can still request a medical certificate if they have reasonable grounds the employee is not sick, and that the employer agrees to reimburse the employee for the cost of obtaining the medical certificate.
