does this reduce my s/l?
am i required to get medical certificate if not paid?
As I understand it, after you have reached your minimum guarantee, you don't get any sick leave credits and no days are deducted from sick leave, but the company still require you to follow the normal sick leave procedure, ie normal documentation and certificate unless using one of your 4 days per year without a certificate.
This is the relevant clause from EBAIV
30.3. Approved paid leave
30.3.1. Reserve line holder
A reserve line holder accrues duty hour credits, except for personal
leave, at the rate of the minimum guaranteed hours divided by 56 for each
day of approved paid leave.
A reserve line holder accrues duty hour credits, for personal leave, at
the rate of the full-time minimum guaranteed hours divided by 38 for each
day of approved paid leave, irrespective of whether the flight attendant
is full-time or part-time.
This credit is given in the case of annual leave and long service leave
even if the flight attendant has accrued the minimum guaranteed hours.
The credit is not given in the case of personal leave and jury service,
nor is personal leave debited, once the flight attendant has accrued the
minimum guaranteed hours.
