EMPLOYEES ON WSIB. 26.1 An employee, who is absent because of an occupational disease or a work related injury and who has submitted a WSIB claim, shall continue to receive regular pay until the claim is approved by WSIB and the time paid shall be deducted from the employee’s sick leave credit bank. The amount of regular pay shall be limited to the total of the employee’s accumulated sick leave credits. Upon confirmation of approval of the employee’s claim by WSIB, regular pay shall cease and WSIB benefits shall commence. Once the claim is approved by WSIB the Board shall perform the necessary paper work to generate credits back to the employee’s sick leave credit bank. Because WSIB payments do not equate to the regular pay received by the employee during the waiting period, sick leave will be refunded to the employee’s sick leave credit bank on a prorated basis. In the event that the employee is paid by WSIB for the waiting period for which the employee received regular pay from the employee’s sick leave bank, the employee shall reimburse the Board forthwith.
