What is Chick-Fil-A Sick Policy?
Chick-Fil-A has a sick policy that covers employees while they are out with an illness or injury. The policy is only available to full-time employees, and it offers up to 40 hours of paid time off per year.
If you’re out sick for more than three consecutive days, your supervisor will need to fill out a form stating the reason for your absence. This form will be kept on file in case there are any issues with your claim later on. You’ll need to provide documentation from your doctor or medical provider if you’re out for more than three consecutive days due to illness or injury, which can include:
An official diagnosis from a doctor (such as “flu”)
A note from a nurse practitioner or other medical provider indicating you’ve been seen within the last 24 hours
If you’re out for less than three days because of illness or injury, no documentation is required since there’s no way to prove whether or not it’s legitimate.
How long does Chick-Fil-A allow for employees to be out sick?
