Common use of Entitlement to Leave Clause in Contracts

Entitlement to Leave. An employee shall be granted WorkSafe BC leave with net pay in the event that the WorkSafe BC determines that the employee has established a claim (time loss benefits) and they are unable to perform their duties by reason of the compensable injury which occurred while employed by the Employer. For the purposes of this clause, net pay is defined as the employee’s regular net take-home wages to ensure that the non-taxable status of WorkSafe BC benefits does not provide an opportunity for an injured worker to earn more while on claim than if they were working. The term claim will not include any form of WorkSafe BC allowance or pension, and this section will not be operative while an employee is receiving such a different form of payment from WorkSafe BC arising from this claim. (See also Appendix “H”)
