Time was a doctor’s note was credible enough to earn a worker a sick day – but no more if you are a worker for GM. According to the Detroit Free Press starting January 1 employees who wish to call in a sick day will need a prescription note or proof of tests from the doctor’s office in order to qualify for sick pay. If not, workers could face verbal reprimands or worse – the loss of a job.
