INCOME MAINTENANCE PLAN. The income maintenance plan provides the employee with an income allowance equal to 75% of his/her regularly assigned salary for a period of one (1) full year in the event that he/she suffers from a catastrophic illness/disability which prevents him/her from being at work and performing his/her normal job. The income maintenance allowance begins for the employee at such time as he/she has exhausted all of his/her accrued sick leave and vacation benefits. While receiving the income maintenance allowance, the employee shall remain on the City payroll and continue to have insurance premiums and retirement plans funded by the City in the manner outlined elsewhere in this agreement. The employee shall not accrue vacation or sick leave credits during this period. In the event the employee receives monies as a result of workers’ compensation law payments, the income allowance will be reduced by an amount which will result in the employee receiving not more than 100% of his/her regularly assigned salary during the period of illness or disability. All decisions regarding an employee’s eligibility for income maintenance will be made by the City’s physician, subject to appellate review by the City Manager. A decision made by the City Manager will be final and not subject to further review. An employee who returns to work after being absent on the income maintenance plan for more than six (6) months shall be ineligible to request implementation of the plan for the next six (6) months following his/her return.
