Regent panel backs stricter sick leave (AP)

All 33,000 employees of the 26-campus University of Wisconsin System would have to get a doctor’s note for sick leaves longer than five days and the System would pump up the powers of its internal auditor under changes approved Thursday by a committee of the UW Board of Regents.

A final vote on both proposals, advanced by the Business and Finance Committee, will be today by the full board.
