Common use of Disability and Worker’s Compensation Clause in Contracts

Disability and Worker’s Compensation. A member of the bargaining unit who receives disability compensation provided by statute and who is entitled to any personal sick leave allowance may take that portion of his/her personal sick leave allowance payment which, when added to the amount of the disability compensation provided by statute, will result in the payment to him/her of his/her full salary. The sick leave bank shall not be used for this purpose. If and when a member of the bargaining unit has personal sick leave available and is injured while in the performance of his/her duty, and if such injury could result in a claim under Chapter 152 of the General Laws, as amended (Worker’s Compensation Act), he/she shall be entitled to use his/her personal sick leave to the extent such leave is available until payments under the Worker’s Compensation Law begin. Any adjustments due him/her because of the effects of this provision shall be made thereafter. The sick leave bank shall not be used for this purpose. The provisions of this paragraph (e) shall not be deemed to be of application to a bargaining unit member who shall have retired.
