I have an IT role in a global company. I work & live in California/"Cali", USA. The company considers me as a Cali resident (ex. Cali tax applies, mail sent to Cali address). I have worked at the company for a few years and accrued medical leave.
I'd like to know (1) if state or federal law allows of forbids employers to ask for doctor's notes for any medical leave. (2) Does the law allow me to take medical leave for myself even if I don't visit a doctor ?
I have found some information related to the above questions, but I am not sure if there are simple and clear answers to my questions. Can someone please help me to get answers ?
From this link, question 26, it appears that employers are not required to ask for doctor's notes. But, it is not clear whether the law allows or forbids employers from asking such questions.
Does my employer have to document the reason I use paid sick leave?
The law states that an employer is not obligated to inquire into, or
record, the purposes for which an employee uses paid sick leave or
paid time off.
From this link, "Reasons for leave" section, it appears that doctor's notes are not legally required.
Employees have the right to decide when to use their paid sick leave,
and employers are prohibited from interfering with this right. An
employer must allow the use of paid sick leave even when an employee
does not provide details about the need to use sick leave or fails to
produce a doctor's note.
PS - IMO doctor's note requirement in any state/country seems to be a privacy problem. It can potentially give insights into your medical condition or that of your spouse. I USA, many hospitals only send a letter from the doctor who treated you instead of a generic letter from the hospital. If you are being treated by a specialist, then it can become easy to infer or suppose which conditions the employee is being treated for. Moreover, not every company has HR personnel and the employee might be compelled to share doctor's notes with the manager who could use it negatively.
