Solution
usually more than three unscheduled in a three-month period will trigger a reaction such as an attendance review meeting/discussion and possibly (usually) a PDI, depending on district instructions to the local PMs.
In my experience, that is... your mileage may vary.

Sick leave is an earned benefit agreed on by upper management and the NRLCA. All of these pay grades are way above anyone near us including your district manager.
You may have had a very legitimate reason to have had more than 3 or 10 days in a quarter. Usually for more than 3 days you can apply for FMLA which seems to be easy to obtain.
The ONLY thing managementcan do is have quarterly sick leave review meetings with us, during which I ask for 8127 time for that meeting.
At those meetings they can show us their findings in their investigations into our sick leave. For example they may show you are sick on every Monday, making them believe you are "abusing" YOUR sIck leave. However, they have to prove that. At worse case they may place you on restricted sick leave. Meaning you have to get a Dr. note for any and all absentes.
They can only do this after presenting you, IN WRITING, the reason and or proof that they have just cause for placing you on the restricted sick leave list. Without any and all of those hoops being jumped through any sick leave restrictions are easily fought in the grievance procedure.
