- When there is reason to believe the medical condition of the employee is adversely affecting or could adversely affect the employee's ability to perform his or her job;

- When there is reason to believe the medical condition of the employee presents a safety risk to him or herself or others;

- When an employee is absent from work for medical reasons and upon their return to work.

- Upon reasonable suspicion that an employee is abusing the school system's sick leave policy; or

- In conjunction with a rehabilitation or other medical treatment plan.
