Employees should report an absence promptly and check Sunshine Village's current workplace process. MedLetter accepts requests for short-term illness documentation; a physician independently reviews each request and documentation is issued only when clinically appropriate.
Working at Sunshine Village Ski Resort in the Ski Resort industry presents unique challenges when you need medical documentation:
Sunshine Village requires medical documentation for absences exceeding 1 shift during peak season (December-March). The remote mountain location makes obtaining sick notes extremely difficult.
These roles may have different workplace policies, collective-agreement terms, or safety requirements: Lift Operators, Ski Patrol, Rental Technicians, Food & Beverage, Guest Services, Grooming Operators.
Alberta job-protected leaves have distinct eligibility and documentation rules. Do not rely on a generic absence-day threshold; review the applicable workplace process and the Alberta official leave guidance. A recipient decides whether documentation satisfies its own policy.
Ask your supervisor or HR what documentation is requested. A recipient evaluates the document under its own policy, collective agreement, and the circumstances of the absence.
Review timing varies with the clinical assessment and whether follow-up is needed. Report the absence promptly rather than waiting for documentation.
MedLetter’s standard short-term documentation fee is $49. Compare the total practical cost, including travel, parking, transit, waiting time, and clinic fees, for your circumstances.
Review the intake requirements before submitting. A physician still independently determines whether short-term documentation is clinically appropriate.
New sick-note requests are temporarily paused while we review our service. We are not accepting new orders at this time.
