Occupational Injury Pay. 1. Eligibility To be eligible to receive Occupational Injury Pay, an employee's disability must be covered by the state Worker’s Compensation laws applicable to the employee's base, station or work site. The employee must also provide a medical doctor's written verification of disability by occupational injury.
Occupational Injury Pay. If an occupational injury occurring while engaged in School District business is such that the employee is unable to work and is required to leave her/his work on that day of the accident, the employee shall be paid for all hours scheduled to work that day. Consecutive days of absence will be paid as provided by Minnesota Statutes.
1. Upon the request of an employee who is absent from work as a result of a compensable injury incurred in the service of the School District, under the provisions of the Worker's Compensation Act, the School District will pay the difference between the compensation received pursuant to the Worker's Compensation Act by the employee and the employee's regular rate of pay to the extent of the employee's earned accrual of sick leave and/or vacation pay. Subd. 2. A deduction shall be made from the employee's accumulated vacation or sick leave accrual time according to the pro rata portion of days of sick leave or vacation time which is used to supplement Worker's Compensation.
Occupational Injury Pay. A. If an employee is injured at work and is sent home (or to a doctor, clinic or hospital) by appropriate authority, he/she shall be paid for the time lost from the remainder of his/her scheduled shift for the day at his/her regular base rate of pay, including any applicable shift differential.
B. If an employee is returned to work following such an injury and is subsequently sent by the Company for treatment or examination in connection with the injury, the employee shall be paid for the time lost from his/her scheduled hours of work for that day at his/her base rate of pay, including any applicable shift differential.
C. Should an employee elect to obtain treatment for such an injury by a physician other than the one authorized by the Company, the employee shall be paid for the time lost from his/her scheduled hours of work for that day at his/her base rate of pay, including any applicable shift differential. However, such payment requires:
1. The costs of the treatment must be compensable under Workers' Compensation law, and
2. A form must be obtained from the Human Resources Manager in advance of the treatment, must be completed at the time of treatment by the private doctor, and must be returned promptly to the Human Resources Manager.
Occupational Injury Pay. A. Leaves of absence will be granted on account of occupational injury upon written verification of disability from a qualified medical doctor.
B. Sick pay ordinarily will not be charged to the employee injured on the job, except as outlined herein.
C. The Company will make up no less than the difference between that which is paid by Workers Compensation and what the employee would have earned (after tax withholding) if the employee had worked his regular shift. Payments under this Article will commence upon a determination by the Company, its insurer, or an appropriate governmental body or court through a final nonappealable order that the claim for occupation injury is compensable under the applicable Workers Compensation law or alternative program adopted in lieu of Workers Compensation. Until the claim has been deemed compensable under the applicable Workers Compensation law and a definite rate has been established, the employee will be paid his normal pay from accrued sick leave. When the claim has been deemed compensable under the Workers Compensation law, the employee's sick leave accrual shall be replenished by the amount used for purposes of payments described herein.
D. The Company may offer transitional duty, not to exceed eight (8) weeks, to employees who cannot yet perform all of their required job duties but have been released to return to work with restrictions. During transitional duty, employees will not be permitted to bid for, trade into or perform work or schedules beyond their restrictions.
E. The Company may, at its expense, require the injured employee to submit to physical examination by a doctor of the Company's choosing at any time. Payments by the Company may be terminated if the employee refuses to submit to a physical examination as outlined above or if the employee is found fit to return to work, including available work as provided in Paragraph 2. D. above. Using OJI leave or OJI pay for a purpose other than that intended constitutes abuse and shall subject the employee to termination.
Occupational Injury Pay. Employees who are required to leave their jobs because of occupational injury will receive pay for all hours scheduled to work on the day of injury or accident.
1. In the event that an employee is injured while at work and as a consequence of said injury receives Worker’s Compensation, the injured worker may elect to receive that portion of his/her salary which equals the difference between the employee’s Worker’s Compensation check and the employee’s regular salary as long as that employee has sick, personal or vacation leave proportional to the amount paid by the School District to equal the difference.
