Common use of Occupational Disability Pay Clause in Contracts

Occupational Disability Pay. ‌ (a) Any employee who is absent from work because of an occupational disability arising out of and in the course of employment, unless purposely self-inflicted, or due to willful misconduct, violation of plant rules, or refusal to use safety appliances, shall be granted a leave of absence in accordance with Article 9. When properly approved by the Company, an employee shall be paid an amount equal to the difference between his/her base hourly rate and any payments received from Workers’ Compensation. When there is no question concerning the occupational nature of the disability an estimate may be made of the amount of this difference and payment may be made before Workers’ Compensation claim has been approved. An adjustment may be necessary after payments are being made on a regular basis. Such payment shall cease when the employee is determined to be permanently disabled, when the employee becomes eligible for disability retirement benefits under the terms of the Pension Plan provided for in Article 19 of this Contract or when the Company’s doctor finds the employee is able to return to work. (b) An employee who is scheduled for layoff because of reduction in force while receiving occupational disability make- up payments under this section will have such payments extended to, but not beyond, the date the individual either becomes able to work, reaches maximum (predictable) possible recovery, or six (6) months after the scheduled layoff date due to reduction in force, whichever of these first occurs. Occupational disability make-up pay will not be extended beyond layoff except to those cases and to the extent described in this Subsection (b). An employee on occupational disability at the time of layoff will be paid layoff allowance in a lump sum. (c) When an individual is temporarily totally disabled (occupational) at the time of recall, he/she will be bypassed. When able to return to work, the employee can return and displace the least senior person in the classification, provided that he/she has more seniority. Seniority will begin the date he/she would have been recalled had he/she not been temporarily totally disabled at the time of original recall.
