I think it's better overall to give employees the benefit of the doubt to create some goodwill and improve the workplace dynamic. Sure, some people might take advantage of it but if you notice a pattern then you can be a little more strict with those people if necessary.
Asking an employee for a doctor's note when an employee is out depends on the circumstances for that particular employee. The employer may have a policy in place regarding doctor's notes.
Depends on what your policy states. If there's no actual written policy, l would challenge it.
With our entity, the policy states clearly in the employee handbook, "Therefore, to avoid possible abuse of this benefit, a physician’s statement will be required by the District as verification of illness or accident before sick leave benefits are paid when an employee has been absent for three (3) consecutive working days."
It depends on your employer's Personnel Rules.
Many employers will include such a rule in their handbooks. Enforcement ultimately depends on the people giving approval, so you will have to gage how strict they will be.
I have seen many employers require a doctors note if you call out the last day you are scheduled before a holiday or the first day scheduled back after a holiday. No dr note means no holiday pay
