At VMware we encourage a healthy work environment. You are entitled to take Sick Leave in accordance with statutory requirements with the understanding that sick days are solely for the purpose of recuperating from an illness or injury.

Scheduling Sick Leave

• All Sick Leave planned or unplanned, must be discussed with your manager. If an absence is unexpected, you should notify your manager or HR Source [VMware network access required] as soon as reasonably possible. You will need to state the reasons for your absence and when you may be expected to return to work.
• If your absence is likely to be for more than one day, you should agree when you will next contact your manager with an update.
• You can self-certify your absence for up to ten (10) days. Upon the 11th day you will require a doctor’s certificate for any period of absences continuing from that date. You will need to send this to HR Source [VMware network access required] as soon as you receive it.
• Upon your return to work, enter your Sick Leave time off in Workday [VMware network access required].
