in effect§23.1108 Compulsory Leave
If, in the opinion of the department head, an employee is incapacitated for work on account of illness or injury, such employee may be required, for a period not to exceed 2 workdays, to absent himself from duty. If said incapacity may reasonably be expected to extend beyond 2 workdays, the department head shall require the employee to undergo an examination by a physician designated or approved by the Commission. If the report of the physician shows the employee to be in an unfit condition to work, the appointing authority shall have the right, subject to Commission approval, to compel such employee to take sufficient leave of absence, not to exceed one year of leave without pay, so as to become fit for the proper performance of assigned duties.
