An employee injured on duty who is unable to attend work as a result of that injury will be entitled to apply for sick leave benefits, to the maximum of sick days the employee has available, while awaiting his/her compensation claim to be processed by “Worksafe B.C.”. In order to access this benefit, the employee must authorize “Worksafe B.C.” to pay the Employer an amount equivalent to the amount the employer provided in sick pay from any loss wage settlement in respect to the injury/accident. When an employee is granted sick leave with pay and injury-on- duty leave is subsequently approved for the same period, it shall be considered, for the purpose of the record of sick leave credits, that the employee was not granted sick leave with pay, and all sick leave credits shall be restored to the employee including the first day.

Pending a settlement of the insurable claim, the employee shall continue to receive the full pay and benefits of this Agreement, subject to necessary adjustments. Where a WCB does not permit top up of WCB benefits without reducing such benefits, the Employer agrees that full pay and benefits will be maintained. In order to continue receiving their regular salary, the employee shall assign their compensation cheque to the Employer. In return, the Employer shall indicate the amount received from the Compensation Board on the employee's income tax (T-4) form.
