Common use of Industrial Accident Clause in Contracts

Industrial Accident. 14.1 The City shall provide Workers’ Compensation insurance in accordance with the requirements of the State of Oregon. Employees who sustain an injury or illness compensable by Workers’ Compensation and who are unable to perform their normal duties as a result of such injury or accident shall be compensated by the City’s insurance carrier for the period of time loss. The difference between the Workers’ Compensation payments and the employee’s regular straight-time wages, less any payroll deductions, shall be paid by the City for a period of sixty-five workdays. Whenever an employee receives a check from the City’s insurance carrier, the employee shall report the amount and the period, which it represents to the City’s payroll department. If an employee is off work beyond the sixty-five (65) day period as a result of a work injury, accrued days of leave may be used on a pro rata basis to supplement the employee’s insured disability income until leave is exhausted. 14.2 Both parties agree to the principle that during the period that the employee receives compensation from both the insurance carrier and the City, the employee shall suffer no financial penalty nor should the employee have a financial advantage as regards employee’s regular pay, referred to in Section 14.1, by being on disability status. 14.3 It is in the mutual interest of the parties to return an injured employee to work as soon as practicable. When possible, the City shall provide limited duty assignments within the department for injured employees. With the concurrence of the attending physician, an injured employee shall return to work in the limited duty assignment if work is available, until such time as the employee is released for normal duties. Such limited duty assignment is intended to be temporary in nature and not a permanent assignment.
