Common use of Injury Compensation Clause in Contracts

Injury Compensation. A. When employees or their representatives report an illness or injury has occurred in the performance of official duties, the employees at their request will be promptly counseled by trained personnel as to their right to file for compensation benefits and the benefits payable. The employee also shall be advised as soon as possible that, when traumatic injury leave has been exhausted, compensation benefits can be used in lieu of sick or annual leave. The Agency will give appropriate assistance to the employee in filing a compensation claim. B. The Agency and Union understand that injury compensation cannot be paid for any period when an employee is on paid leave. If, when traumatic injury leave has been exhausted, the injured employee has sick or annual leave to his or her credit, he or she may decide whether to use all or part of it before applying for injury compensation. If the employee should be charged for sick or annual leave (or if he or she is so charged because he or she was not informed of the possibility of injury compensation benefits), he or she may repay in a lump- sum or by any other plan acceptable to his or her payroll office, the amount collected while on annual or sick leave. This repayment would permit him or her to qualify for injury compensation provided all other conditions are met. C. Employees will be permitted to review documents relating to their claim which the Office of Workers’ Compensation and Servicing Human Resources Office have authorized to make available. Employees may be accompanied by their designated representative if they so desire.
