BENEFIT COVERAGE DURING ABSENCES Sample Clauses

BENEFIT COVERAGE DURING ABSENCES. In the event an employee is absent due to illness or non- occupational injury, the Company will continue to pay medical premiums for a maximum of six (6) months. Further, the Company will continue to pay Group Life Insurance premiums for 24 months. However, if the employee is declared permanently and totally disabled, the Company will pay the Group Life Insurance premiums for the duration of the absence. The Company will continue to pay 100% of the premiums for dental and extended health benefit plans for the first 12 weeks of illness or non-occupational injury. After the 12 weeks, the employee is responsible for and must, within a reasonable time, pay 100% of the dental and extended health premiums, unless at the commencement of the absence, the employee notified the Company that he/she does not wish to continue contributions after the 12 weeks. The employee may continue participation in the pension plan upon payment of normal contributions. In the event that an employee is absent due to occupational injury, all benefit plans, i.e. pension, Group Life, medical, dental and extended health will continue to be paid by the Company for the duration of treatment and rehabilitation under WCB unless the employee does not pay the employee’s contributions, if any, within a reasonable time. In the event an employee is absent due to personal leave of absence, layoff, or suspension, the employee may, at his/her option, continue in all benefit plans at 100% cost to the employee for duration of absence, except Short Term and Long Term Disability Plans. In the event an employee is absent due to maternity or child care leave, all benefit plans, i.e. pension, medical, dental and extended health will be paid by the Company for the duration of the absence, unless the employee does not pay the employee’s contributions, if any, within a reasonable time. When an employee is on jury duty, the benefits will be maintained with the current cost sharing arrangement between the Company and the employee. If an employee is absent for any of the above reasons and does not wish to continue any of his/her contributions during that period, he/she must notify the Company. For the purposes of calculating the benefits in this case, the employment on return to work shall be deemed to be continuous with employment before the employee’s absence.

In the case of sick leave, this section shall only apply when the period of illness or injury is in excess of two (2) days and a note from a physician may be required. The period of vacation so displaced shall be taken at a mutually agreed time. An employee intending to claim displaced vacation leave must advise the Employer and provide necessary documentation within seven (7) days of returning to work.

  • Approved Leave of Absence During Vacation Where it can be established by the employee through a doctor's certificate that an illness or accident occurred, or where an employee qualifies for bereavement or any other approved leave during his/her period of vacation, there shall be no deduction from vacation credits for such absence. The period of vacation so displaced shall either be added to the vacation or reinstated for use at a later date, at the employee's option, as mutually agreed.

  • Canceling Dependent Coverage During Open Enrollment In addition to the above situations, dependent health or dependent dental coverage may also be cancelled for any reason during the open enrollment period that applies to each type of plan (as long as allowed under the applicable provisions, regulations and rules of the federal and state law in effect at the beginning of the plan year).

  • Sick Leave During Vacation Where an employee qualifies for sick leave due to illness or injury during the period of vacation time, sick leave shall displace vacation leave. An illness or injury occurring while the employee is on scheduled vacation time shall not be accepted as a claim for sick leave benefits unless recuperation involves hospitalization or confinement to bed by order of a medical practitioner. Written medical verification of such illness or injury and hospitalization or confinement must be provided to the Employer in order for the employee to be eligible for sick leave benefits.

  • Continuation of Optional Coverages During Unpaid Leave or Layoff An employee who takes an unpaid leave of absence or who is laid off may discontinue premium payments on optional policies during the period of leave or layoff. If the employee returns within one (1) year, the employee shall be permitted to pick up all optionals held prior to the leave or layoff. For purposes of reinstating such optional coverages, the following limitations shall be applicable. For the first twenty-four (24) months of long-term disability coverage after such a period of leave or layoff during which long-term disability coverage was discontinued, any such disability coverage shall exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions. For disability purposes, a pre-existing condition is defined as any disability which is caused by, or results from, any injury, sickness or pregnancy which occurred, was diagnosed, or for which medical care was received during the period of leave or layoff. In addition, any pre-existing condition limitations that would have been in effect under the policy but for the discontinuance of coverage shall continue to apply as provided in the policy. The limitations set forth above do not apply to leaves that qualify under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
