ACC and Sick Leave Sample Clauses
The 'ACC and Sick Leave' clause defines how an employee's entitlement to sick leave interacts with compensation received from the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) for work-related injuries or illnesses. Typically, this clause outlines whether employees must use their paid sick leave while receiving ACC payments, or if ACC payments are treated separately from sick leave entitlements. For example, it may specify that employees can top up ACC payments with sick leave to receive their full normal pay, or that sick leave is not deducted while on ACC. The core function of this clause is to clarify the relationship between statutory accident compensation and contractual sick leave, preventing confusion and ensuring fair treatment for employees who are injured or ill.
