Common use of Intermediate Term Sickness Clause in Contracts

Intermediate Term Sickness. Upon the expiration of sick leave credits, employees will receive seventy-five per cent (75%) of their basic salary during their sickness or disability absence to a maximum of twenty-six (26) weeks. The seventy-five per cent (75%) is inclusive of benefits received from other sources. This benefit will be re-established after a return to work of ten (10) working days in the case of a recurrence of the disability, or one (1) day in the case of a new disability. Return to work means a return to normal duties. (Normal duties are when the employee is not on a modified schedule and has assumed the majority of the duties that would have applied prior to the illness/disability). The description of ten (10) working days is considered to be ten (10) consecutive working days consisting of seven-and one half (7.5) hours per day for a total of seventy-five (75) hours. The definition of one day is considered a normal day of seven and one-half (7.5) hours. Time off work to attend medical appointments, essential to the health and well being of the employee, shall not interrupt nor be counted towards the accumulation of the ten (10) consecutive scheduled work days. (The intent is to allow an employee time to attend necessary appointments without jeopardizing the days that have already been accumulated. For example, an employee who has a medical appointment on the seventh (7th) consecutive work day would then be required to work an extra day to meet the ten (10) consecutive scheduled work days requirement). The Employer may request proof of the medical appointment during the ten (10) working days period. It is understood that only full days worked will be counted towards the ten (10) consecutive scheduled work days.
