During any such period of disability leave, the Employer, in addition to paying the employee's regular salary, will make payment into any and all insurance and/or pension plans as required by this agreement, any amendment hereto, and/or otherwise as a part of the employment relationship between the Employer and the employee.

If the employee’s physician disagrees with the City's physician, the employee shall be examined by a third physician selected jointly by the Union and the City and the opinion of this physician shall be used to determine the employee’s eligibility for medical leave under this section. This examination shall be at the City's expense.
