Common use of Extent of Benefit Clause in Contracts

Extent of Benefit. In the event an employee suffers an injury and is unable to work as a result of an on-duty accident or incident other than for reason of misbehavior on the part of the employee, and such injury is determined to be allowable by the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) or Industrial Commission (IC), the employee may receive a maximum of 720 work hours of injury leave for each new and separate injury. An employee who contracts a communicable disease, which is the result of an on-duty exposure incident with the City of Xenia, will be eligible for injury leave. When injury leave is exhausted, the employee may elect to use accumulated sick leave and/or other accrued leave. In extreme cases where the employee has exhausted all sick leave and other accrued leave, additional injury leave may be granted at the discretion of the City Manager, considering the facts of the particular case. When disability caused by an in-the-line-of duty injury continues for a period of 12 months, and all leave is exhausted, the employee shall apply for disability retirement. The parties agree to have a transitional work program. The transitional work program is designed to provide, on a temporary basis, suitable alternate work schedules (in consultation with the employee) and job tasks that provide reasonable productive accommodations for employees who are unable to perform their normal job duties due to a work-related injury or illness. Employees unable to perform their normal job duties due to a non work-related injury or illness may be eligible to participate in the Transitional Work Program at the discretion of management. Employees who are eligible to participate in the Transitional Work Program due to a work-related injury or illness but refuse to return to work will not be eligible for injury leave benefits or sick leave benefits.
