Common use of INJURY LEAVE PAY Clause in Contracts

INJURY LEAVE PAY. The parties recognize that there may be some situations where an employee sustains a work-related injury that causes the employee to be absent from work and the Ohio Workers’ Compensation System does not provide wage replacement benefits. Depending on the situation there could be as much as seven work days for which temporary total disability compensation is not paid pursuant to the Ohio Workers’ Compensation System. This Article is solely designed to address that seven- day gap. Should the Ohio Legislature or the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation or the Ohio Industrial Commission modify Ohio Workers’ Compensation Legislation or Administrative Rules during the term of this agreement to provide compensation inclusive of the seven-day gap, the Parties agree that this Article shall become void upon the effective date of the Legislation or Administrative Rule. When a bargaining unit employee sustains a work-related injury or occupational disease and is unable to perform the essential functions of his/her job because of the work related injury, the employee may be eligible to receive up to a maximum of seven days of injury pay to cover the days the employee is off work and is not otherwise provided compensation under the Ohio Workers’ Compensation System. The County will provide injury pay to eligible employees at the employee’s base hourly rate of pay. To be eligible for the injury pay the employee must have a Workers’ Compensation Claim that has been certified by the Employer or allowed pursuant to a final administrative order issued by the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, the Ohio Industrial Commission of Ohio or a court order. Secondly, the employee must complete the Accident Report Form for Injured Employees (ARFIE) within 48 hours following the injury or the first disability date for an occupational disease unless the employee is physically incapable of reporting. The employee shall not receive injury pay for any days if the injured employee refuses to return either to a modified duty or transitional duty under any temporary restrictions given by the physician of record and the County states it will accommodate the injured employee under the same temporary restrictions.
