To: All restaurant personnel ＜allpersonnel@bluemoonres.com＞ From: Bill Monroe ＜genmanager@bluemoonres.com＞ Subject: Sick Leave Due to the large number of staff taking sick leave over the past few months, the Blue Moon Restaurant management has been forced to (147) a new sick leave policy. Staff employed for over one year are allowed five paid sick leave days per year. That will not change. (148) , with the new policy, only those sick leave absences accompanied by a letter or prescription from a physician, clinic, or hospital will be (149) paid sick leave. Previously, calling in sick would automatically qualify for paid sick leave even without medical authentication. New staff employed for less than a year will be allowed two days of paid sick leave per year, again, with medical authentication. The new policy will begin on March 1.
