UUP and Employee Relations (ER), the President’s designee for this issue, have an agreement that all medical notes for UUP employees should be sent to Human Resources<\/a> (HR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a supervisor asks you to provide medical documentation for an absence, just tell your supervisor that you will provide the medical documentation to HR.\u00a0 Your supervisor will then be advised by HR only that you provided sufficient documentation, not any detail on what you are being treated for, or by whom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
