commute reason for leave

tommy13

We have an employee whose doctor has provided a note stating that she cannot commute to work more than three days per week because her back problem is exacerbated by her 2 hour (each direction) commute. She is seeking intermittent leave for the other day (she usually works a 4 day week). Do we have to provide the intermittent leave when it is not the work that she cannot do, but the commute?

I don't think you need to give her the 4th day. AS I understaqnt the dr slip it is for a periood of disability of three days - not four. Sounds like her condition can handle 4 hours of commute a week, but not 16. I'd be interedsted in what others might think.
