Common use of Employment-Related Injury Clause in Contracts

Employment-Related Injury. Absence due to injury or illness incurred in the course of the bargaining unit member's employment which is legally determined to qualify the member for receipt of worker’s compensation benefits shall not be charged against the bargaining unit member's universal leave days. The Employer shall pay to such bargaining unit member the difference between his/her salary with all fringe benefits, and all benefits received under the Michigan Workers' Compensation Act for the duration of such absence. The salary differential paid by the Employer is not to be offset by or coordinated with Workers' Compensation benefits. Upon return from worker's compensation, the employee shall be guaranteed his/her former position or a comparable position within the classification of his/her original position if the former position no longer exists, provided that his/her seniority is sufficient to obtain such position.
