Free Paid Days Off. Special Part Time employees, who qualify for Workers’ Compensation benefits due to an injury by a CMH client, will be given paid days off to cover the waiting period (the first six days) and will not be required to pay the hours back. 42.88 hours is the maximum number of hours that can be provided, generally 5.36 hours per day. These free hours are calculated at the same rate as Workers’ Compensation (i.e. two-thirds). The hours granted shall be determined by the days the employee was scheduled, if the employee is scheduled in advance. If not scheduled in advance, the number of hours per week average over the prior two pay periods will be used to calculate pay. Employees who qualify for free paid days off shall submit a written request with his/her time card and write in the number of hours requested under the “other” section of the time card.
