We mutually agreed that there was no interpretive dispute between the parties at the National level as to the meaning and intent of Article 10 of the National Agreement as it relates to sick leave restriction. The steps and conditions for placement on sick leave restriction in Part 513.37 of the Employee and Labor Relations Manual are very specific. Except where there is evidence that abuse of sick leave is involved, the listed actions in 513.371 must be followed. Accordingly, as further agreed, this case is hereby remanded back to Step 3 for any necessary application of Part 513.71 and any local agreements applicable. This case should be processed and/or disposed of at that level.
