Workers’ Compensation Claims The Responding Member is responsible for providing worker’s compensation benefits and administering worker’s compensation for its employees. The Requesting Member is responsible for providing worker’s compensation benefits and administering worker’s compensation for its employees.
Compensation Claims Section 1. When an injury is reported the reference number will be given to the employee and when requested, a copy of the injury report will be furnished to the employee within two (2) working days of such request. A copy of the injury report will also be furnished to the Local Union if requested by a Local Union official. The Employer agrees to cooperate and make a reasonable effort to provide the disposition of employee on-the-job injury claims within ten (10) business days. No employee will be disciplined or threatened with discipline or retaliated against as a result of filing an on-the-job injury report. The Employer or its designee shall not visit an injured worker at his/her their home. The Employer shall provide the Union Co-chair of the National Safety and Health Committee with current summaries of the essential functions of all positions covered by this Agreement. The Union shall have the right to challenge any such summary through the applicable grievance procedure. Any employee who is adversely affected by any such summary shall have the right to challenge such summary through the applicable grievance procedure. Any such decisions or settlements rendered through the grievance procedure, including but not limited to, at arbitration, shall be based solely upon, and applicable to, the facts present in that individual case and shall have no precedential effect beyond that case. This stipulation is limited to cases involving or referencing essential job functions. The Employer shall provide Worker’s Compensation protection for all employees even though not required by state law or the equivalent thereof if the injury arose out of or in the course of employment. An employee who is injured on the job, and is sent home, or to a hospital, or who must obtain medical attention, shall receive pay at the applicable hourly rate for the balance of his/her their regular shift on that day. Upon receiving an employee’s timely report of injury, the Employer shall not pressure an employee to continue to work, nor shall the Employer interfere with an employee seeking medical attention. When, because of such pressure, an employee spends time in a clinic after his or her their normal finish time, the time spent shall be the subject of a pay claim through the grievance procedure. An employee who has returned to regular duties after sustaining a compensable injury, and who is required by the Worker’s Compensation doctor to receive additional medical treatment during the employee’s regularly scheduled working hours, shall receive the employee’s regular hourly rate of pay for such time. The Employer agrees to provide any employee injured locally immediate transportation, at the time of injury, from the job to the nearest appropriate medical facility and return to the job, or to the employee’s home, if required. In such cases, no representative of the Employer shall be permitted to accompany the injured worker while he/she is they are receiving medical treatment and/or being examined by the medical provider, without the employee’s consent. In the event that any employee sustains an occupational illness or injury while on a run away from the home terminal, the Employer shall obtain medical treatment for the employee, if necessary, and, thereafter, will provide transportation by bus, train, plane or automobile to the employee’s home terminal, if and when directed by a doctor. An employee that has a change in his/her their medical duty status shall report that change to the Employer. In the event of a fatality, arising in the course of employment while away from the home terminal, the Employer shall return the deceased to the home of the deceased at the point of domicile.
Employer’s Liability It is expressly agreed and understood that the Employer does not accept, nor is the Employer to be charged hereby with, any responsibility in any manner connected with the determination of liability to any employee claiming under any of the benefits extended by the Health and Welfare Fund. The Employer's liability shall be limited to the contributions indicated under Section 2 above.
Severance Obligations (i) Ashland and Buyer intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not result in a severance of employment of any Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and that the Employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing Date, and Ashland and Buyer shall comply with any requirements under applicable Law to ensure the same. Subject to Section 7.5(b)(iv), Buyer shall bear any costs related to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Ashland and the Asset Selling Corporations from and against, any claims made by any Employee for any statutory, contractual or common law severance or separation benefits and other legally mandated payment obligations (including the employer portion of any employment taxes, together with any compensation payable during any mandatory termination notice period related thereto, collectively, “Separation Benefits”), in each case, arising out of or in connection with the failure of Buyer or the Buyer Corporations to make offers of employment or continue the employment of any Employee, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and as required by applicable Law, and Ashland and the Asset Selling Corporations shall bear any costs related to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Buyer Corporations from and against, any claims made by any Employee for any Separation Benefits that arise out of the refusal of such Employee to accept an offer of employment made in accordance with this Agreement and applicable Law by, or an objection by such Employee to an automatic transfer of employment to, Buyer or a Buyer Corporation or for the liabilities associated with the agreements listed in Schedule 7.5.
(ii) Subject to Section 7.5(b)(iv), Buyer shall, or shall cause the Buyer Corporations to, provide each Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated within eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date with severance and other separation benefits substantially comparable to the severance and other separation benefits provided to such Transferred Employee by Ashland or the applicable Asset Selling Corporation as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.
Indemnification Claims An Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within 20 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure.

The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall promptly furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have or receive with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (x) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.3 or (y) the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
