The supervisor or Administrator shall determine whether an employee is eligible for benefits under the sick leave plan and, in connection with such . determination, may determine, in their discretion whether an employee's absence from work is actually due to illness or injury. In the event the supervisor deems it proper to make inquiry into an employee's absence, the employee shall cooperate in authorizing the supervisor or Administrator to obtain any necessary medical or hospital records. Claiming sick leave for reasons other than those stated shall be cause for disciplinary action or discharge. C.
