Disability Bank Clause Samples
The Disability Bank clause establishes a system for employees to accumulate and use a specified amount of paid leave in the event of a disability. Typically, this clause outlines how much leave can be accrued, the qualifying conditions for its use, and the process for requesting time off due to a disabling condition. By providing a structured method for managing disability-related absences, the clause ensures employees have financial support during periods when they are unable to work, while also giving employers a clear framework for handling such situations.
Disability Bank. There shall be a pool of paid leave days for eligible employees in benefit categories ▇-▇, ▇-▇ and B-3 that may be drawn upon after any and all individual accumulated sick leave days have been exhausted. One year of completed service is required to qualify. This pool may be used for a disability of twenty (20) contract days or more. The disability bank shall be administered in accordance with Appendix B.
13.2.1 Decisions by the bank’s Board of Review shall not be subject to the grievance procedure.
Disability Bank. In addition to the original sick leave balance that was transferred to the Disability Bank at the time this program was implemented, days will accumulate at the rate of seven (7) days per year (or .583 per month). The Disability Bank hours are to be used for extended illness, injury, disability related to pregnancy, or hospitalization only. Usage of the Disability Bank commences with the 4th consecutive day of absence from work due to illness or injury. A physician's report must accompany the request to use the Disability Bank Days. Periodic updates from the employee's physician may be required. In the event that an employee is hospitalized or has surgery (this includes day surgery procedures) for something other than a work- related problem, the Disability Bank may be used starting with the first day of hospitalization. Any disability related to pregnancy will be treated like any other medical condition. An exception to the policy that requires the usage of three (3) Earned Time days before being permitted to access the Disability Bank when the disability is certified by a physician to be the same as for the original use or from the same cause as the original Disability Bank usage. Disability days must be taken in one-half or full day shift increments. The use of the Disability Bank for extended illness or injury requires medical documentation and may indicate the need for use of the Family Medial Leave Act and the need to contact the Human Resource Department concerning long-term disability. Employees hired prior to January 1, 1991 may accumulate Disability Bank days without limitation. Firefighters hired after January 1, 1991 shall have disability leave bank accumulation limited to 150 days. Upon death of an employee while in the employment of the City, the City shall pay to his/her spouse or next of kin an amount equal to 100% of the value of his/her accumulated disability bank. Upon retirement from employment, upon voluntary termination of his/her employment, the City shall pay to the employee an amount equal to 90% of the value of his/her accumulated disability bank. Firefighters hired after January 1, 1996 shall receive no pay out at all for accumulated disability bank either for retirement or termination.
