Requirements for staying out of work for illness

If I call in ill for my shift on a friday, saturday or sunday, my employer requires me to go to our family health services clinic and be seen by a nurse practitioner. The nurse practitioner then issues a work excuse. Is this legal to require me to go to the clinic?
