can only attend medical appointments during his/her scheduled
work, the absences shall collectively constitute one occasion for the
purposes of this plan. In order for this to occur, the Employee must
provide the Employer with documentation from his/her treatment
provider at the commencement of the treatment program, outlining
the anticipated schedule for treatments, including dates when the
series will likely commence and cease.
