For the purpose of this section, “good reason “shall be constructed as a reason which is not, in the opinion of the HRD, frivolous, trivial, inconsequential or flippant.
5. An employee who is unable to attend work because of illness should submit his original medical certificate to his respective Head of Department on the day he returns to work.
