CVIT — comissão de verificação de incapacidade temporária (sick leave verification board)
A board of Segurança Social doctors that checks whether a person is really ill. The employer can request a check; Segurança Social then calls the person for an examination within 48 hours (Law 105/2009, article 17).
Where you come across it. Sick leave, disputes with an employer about illness.
If you fail to turn up without good reason, your sick days count as unjustified absence. If you disagree with the result, ask for a second examination within 24 hours.
