Disability Payments If during the term of employment and prior to the delivery of any notice of termination without cause, you become physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, so that you are prevented from performing your usual duties for a period of six consecutive months, or for shorter periods aggregating six months in any twelve-month period, the Company shall, nevertheless, continue to pay your full compensation through the last day of the sixth consecutive month of disability or the date on which the shorter periods of disability shall have equaled a total of six months in any twelve-month period (such last day or date being referred to herein as the “Disability Date”), subject to Section 11.17. If you have not resumed your usual duties on or prior to the Disability Date, the Company shall pay you a pro rata Bonus (based on your Average Annual Bonus) for the year in which the Disability Date occurs and thereafter shall pay you disability benefits for the period ending on the later of (i) the Term Date or (ii) the date which is twelve months after the Disability Date (in the case of either (i) or (ii), the “Disability Period”), in an annual amount equal to 75% of (a) your Base Salary at the time you become disabled and (b) the Average Annual Bonus, in each case, subject to Section 11.17.
– DISABILITY INCOME PROTECTION PLAN i) The Disability Income Protection Plan of the designated employer will be in accordance with the collective agreement.
ii) There will be no break in coverage and/or waiting period prior to being able to receive the Disability Income Protection Plan so long as the waiting period has already been served.
Integration With Other Disability Income In the event a totally disabled employee Is entitled to any other income as a result of the same accident, sickness, mental or nervous disorder that caused him to be eligible to receive benefits from this Plan, the benefits from this Plan will be reduced by one hundred (100) percent of such other disability income. Other disability income shall include, but not necessarily be limited to:
(a) Any amount payable under the Workers' Compensation Act or law or any other legislation of similar purpose.
(b) Any amount the disabled employee receives from any group insurance, wage continuation or pension plan of the Employer that provides disability or retirement income.
(c) Any amount of disability income provided by any compulsory act or law.
(d) Any periodic primary benefit payment from the Canada or Quebec Pension Plans or other similar Social security plan of any country to which the disabled employee is entitled or to which he would be entitled if his application for such a benefit were approved.
(e) Any amount of disability income provided by any group or association disability plan to which the disabled employee might belong or subscribe. The amount by which the disability benefit from this Plan is reduced by other disability income will normally be the amount to which the disabled employee is entitled upon becoming first eligible for such other disability income. Future increases in such other disability income resulting from increases in the Canadian Consumer Price Index or similar indexing arrangements will not further reduce the benefit from this Plan. Notwithstanding the above, in the case of ICBC Weekly Indemnity payments or, in the case of personal insurance coverage, integration will apply to the extent that the combination of Plan benefits and ICBC Weekly Indemnity payments or, personal insurance disability income benefits exceed either:
(1) One hundred (100) percent of basic pay; or
(2) The applicable benefit percentage of the individual average total monthly income in the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding commencement of the disability, whichever is the greater. Where this provision is to apply the employee will be required to provide satisfactory evidence of his total monthly income. Notwithstanding the above, where an employee makes a successful wage loss claim against a third party for an injury for which the employee received or would receive LTD benefits, the Employer will be entitled to recover or decrease Plan benefits by an amount equal to the amount that the Plan benefits in combination with the wage loss claim paid exceed one hundred (100) percent of pay. This Section does not apply to a war disability pension paid under an Act of the Governments of Canada or other Commonwealth countries.
Disability Retirement If, as a result of your incapacity due to physical or mental illness, You shall have been absent from the full-time performance of your duties with the Company for 6 consecutive months, and within 30 days after written notice of termination is given You shall not have returned to the full-time performance of your duties, your employment may be terminated for "Disability." Termination of your employment by the Company or You due to your "Retirement" shall mean termination in accordance with the Company's retirement policy, including early retirement, generally applicable to its salaried employees or in accordance with any retirement arrangement established with your consent with respect to You.
Long Term Disability Benefits A benefit level of seventy percent (70%) of monthly earnings shall apply. Benefits would commence after a waiting period of seventeen (17) weeks, when Short Term Disability Benefits terminate. Terms of the Master Policy with the Insurance Company shall apply. In order to go on LTD, the person must:
(a) Be off work for seventeen (17) consecutive weeks with the same or unrelated illness or injury.
(b) Be off work for a total of seventeen (17) weeks with the same illness or injury providing that the return to work was less than twenty (20) consecutive days.
Long Term Disability Benefit The Long Term Disability insurance provides income security should you become totally disabled prior to age 65 due to a sickness or injury which totally disables you over a long period of time. The Plan provides you with coverage on and off the job.
Disability If Executive shall be deemed disabled under the Company’s then existing long-term disability plan, the Board of Directors (or the Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate) may remove Executive from any responsibilities and/or reassign Executive to another position with the Company for the remainder of the Term or during the period of such disability. Notwithstanding any such removal or reassignment, Executive shall continue to receive Executive’s full Base Salary (less any disability pay or sick pay benefits to which Executive may be entitled under the Company’s policies) and benefits under Section 5 of this Agreement (except to the extent that Executive is ineligible for one or more such benefits under applicable plan terms) for a period of up to twelve (12) months, and Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company at any time thereafter. In the event of such termination, the Executive is entitled to receive payment of the bonus that the Executive would have been entitled to receive under the bonus or other performance plan referred to in Section 4(b) had his employment not been terminated, pro rated for the number of days the Executive was employed by the Company during the relevant period. Such payment shall be made to the Executive at the same time bonuses under such plan are generally paid to other participants. In the event of such termination, the Company shall have no further obligations except to make Executive’s accrued Base Salary and benefit payments contemplated by this Section 6(f) through the date of such termination. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of Executive’s then existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician (local to the Company’s principal offices) selected by the Company to whom Executive or Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on Executive. Nothing in this Section 6(e) shall be construed to waive Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxx, 00 X.X.X. §00000 et seq.
Short Term Disability Benefits The Board shall provide short-term disability benefits as set forth in the short term disability summary plan description.
1. Rate of Benefits and Waiting Period Short term disability benefits for disabilities resulting from non-occupational illness or injury, shall be paid at the rate of 70% of the employee’s regular rate subject to all applicable deductions. Following the exhaustion of temporary leave, there is a five (5) day waiting period before short term disability benefits begin. The five (5) day waiting period will be waived for absences greater than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days and short term disability payments shall be paid retroactively. (See also Temporary Leave.)
Death, Retirement or Disability Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death or Retirement during the Employment Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean normal retirement as defined in the Company’s then-current retirement plan, or if there is no such retirement plan, “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination after age 65 with ten years of service. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to Executive written notice of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such written notice by Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a mental or physical disability as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with standards and procedures similar to those under the Company’s employee long-term disability plan, if any. At any time that the Company does not maintain such a long-term disability plan, “Disability” shall mean the inability of Executive, as determined by the Board, to perform the essential functions of his regular duties and responsibilities, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a medically determinable physical or mental condition which has lasted (or can reasonably be expected to last) for twelve workweeks in any twelve-month period. At the request of Executive or his personal representative, the Board’s determination that the Disability of Executive has occurred shall be certified by two physicians mutually agreed upon by Executive, or his personal representative, and the Company. Failing such independent certification (if so requested by Executive), Executive’s termination shall be deemed a termination by the Company without Cause and not a termination by reason of his Disability.
