OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE. Occupational injury leave shall be governed by the Rules promulgated on this subject and the Ohio Revised Code 5503 as they exist on March 26, 1989, except as modified in this Article. All employees in the bargaining unit shall be entitled to occupational injury leave.
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE. 1. Occupational Injury occurs when an employee is unable to work because of an injury or illness incurred on the job. The injury or illness must be one that is covered by the applicable state Workers’ Compensation law, and must be verified in writing by the employee’s treating physician. Leaves of absence for Occupational Injury will be granted upon the employee’s presentation of written verification from a qualified doctor in accordance with the applicable state Workers’ Compensation law.
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE. Section 25.1. In the event of a serious bodily injury sustained or serious illness contracted as a direct result of performing an assigned or sworn function within the scope of the employee's authority, which illness or injury is not the result of "horseplay," sole negligence, recklessness or self-inflection by an employee, and upon the employee's application, the department may grant the employee, beginning on the eighth calendar day of absence or on the first day the employee is admitted to a hospital as an in-patient, whichever is earlier, Occupational Injury Leave (OIL) at the employee’s regular rate of pay for a period not to exceed thirty (30) work days per calendar year. The authorization of an OIL is a matter of administrative discretion, and the department will decide in each individual case if OIL is to be granted. The granting of an OIL shall not be unreasonably denied. A grievance concerning the failure of the Employer to grant an initial OIL shall be submitted directly to Step 2 of the grievance procedure. The department, at its sole discretion, may extend an OIL. The department’s failure to extend a leave shall not be subject to the grievance procedure.
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE. Employees of the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, the Ohio Veterans' Home, Schools for the Deaf and Blind, the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, and the Department of Youth Services shall be entitled to a total of nine hundred sixty (960) hours of Occupational Injury Leave a year with pay at regular rate. (See Appendix C.)
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE. Employees of the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Developmental Disabilities, the Department of Veterans Services, Schools for the Deaf and Blind, the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, and the Department of Youth Services shall be eligible up to a maximum of nine hundred sixty (960) hours of Occupational Injury Leave per claim with pay at total rate. (See Appendix C) Where an aggravation of a pre-existing condition is alleged, the BWC/IC will determine if the injury results in a new claim or a continuation of an existing claim. Employees receiving OIL are in active pay status.
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE. Bargaining unit members who are disabled from performing the duties of their own occupation with the University due to bodily injury sustained or serious illness contracted in the pursuit and performance of the duties of such member’s occupation, shall receive in lieu of the benefits conferred upon members by the sick leave provisions contained this Agreement, injury leave at their applicable rate of pay. The injury or serious illness must be sustained or contracted in the line of duty, and must not have resulted from reckless disregard or misconduct on the part of the bargaining unit member. Occupational injury leave is not available for injuries incurred during those times when the bargaining unit member is engaged in non-law-enforcement activities, administrative or clerical duties, is on a meal or rest period, is engaged in any personal activity, including but not limited to physical fitness activities, or is in the act of arriving or departing from his/her assigned work facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is recognized that, due to the nature of law enforcement, members may be required to take law enforcement action (or suffer a law enforcement related injury) at any time, including but not limited to meal or rest periods. Injury leave shall be paid for no more than a total lifetime maximum of 560 hours per incident for any member for loss of time related to bodily injury or serious illness received while on duty. Injury leave will be for the immediate loss of time or continued treatment of such injury or illness, not to exceed the per incident lifetime maximum of 560 hours. The receipt of benefits pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not affect the accrual of sick leave, vacation time, seniority, or other benefits of employment.
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE. Section 1. Employees injured while at work shall be given medical attention as dictated by the severity of the injury and the circumstances at the earliest possible moment and employees shall be permitted to return to work, if cleared to return to work by an appropriate medical provider without signing any release of liability, pending the disposition or settlement of any claims for damage or compensation. In the event that medical attention is necessary, such injured employees will be allowed to obtain medical attention without loss of time during the shift in which the injury occurred. It is the responsibility of the injured employee to report an injury to his/her immediate Supervisor during the shift in which the injury occurred.
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE. 42.01 Establishment Occupational Injury Leave (O.I.L.) shall be governed by this Article and rules established by the Employer consistent with this Article. All employees in the bargaining unit shall be entitled to use O.I.L.
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE. Injury leave as distinguished from sick leave means paid leave given to an employee because of the absence from duty caused by an accident or injury that occurred while the employee was engaged in the performance of his/her duties. The Town will supplement for a period not to exceed six (6) months the payments made under Workers’ Compensation Insurance so that the employee will receive his/her normal weekly pay for the period of time he/she is on injury leave.
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE. Section 19.1. Employees must notify supervision of intent to commence a disability leave related to an injury or occupational disease which has been allegedly sustained "in the course of and arising out of" their employment. Employees must provide a disability slip from a licensed physician which clearly shows a disability "from" and "to" date. Failure to do so may result in forfeiture of other protections contained in this article. Employees who notify supervision of such intent, and produce a valid disability slip, will automatically be paid sick time for up to 7 days (assuming that the employee has accumulated enough sick time hours) for disability periods which have been approved by the Physician of Record in their Bureau of Workers’ Compensation claim.
