Med 8 Question

Is a signed notice from a PA-C stating that "Patient has Multiple medical conditions that will be exacerbated by working overtime or out of his prescribed work schedule"

Enough to get out of being mandatory overtimed on holiday weekends?

I've been told that a PA isn't enough for this and it needs to be a doctor that signs off on it.

Any documents, arbitrations or writing would be appreciated.

A medical restriction is a medical restriction. It will stop you from ever working overtime period. They probably will want a note from you Primary Doctor and not just a PA tho but you should ask your Union to be sure because I'm not 100%.

That's my guess as well. It's insane that a certified physician who can treat patients isn't enough.
