Common use of Pay While Awaiting WSIB Ruling Clause in Contracts

Pay While Awaiting WSIB Ruling. An employee who is injured on duty and who is unable to work as a result of such injury, shall, provided he/she has passed his/her probationary period, be paid an amount equal to his/her full net pay while the employee is off work which will be deducted from the employee’s sick leave credits, until such time as a ruling has been made by the Workplace Safety Insurance Board upon the employee’s claim including all appeals resulting from the claim. Such payment shall continue until “100% day” sick leave credits are exhausted, at which time the employee will have the option to have unused vacation and/or lieu time deducted; or to use their accumulated sick leave bank; or to take an unpaid leave of absence. “Net pay” is straight time regular wages, less legally required deductions. If a Workplace Safety Insurance Board claim is subsequently approved, payment will continue from the “100% day” sick leave credits, and the Employer will apply the employee’s entitlement from the Workplace Safety Insurance Board to the employee’s “100% day” sick leave credits to replenish those credits on a pro-rata basis. Such payment shall continue until “100% day” sick leave credits are exhausted, at which time the employee will have the option to have unused vacation and/or lieu time and/or accumulated sick leave bank time deducted and replenished on the same pro-rata basis as sick leave credits. Where sick leave credits and/or, where the employee has opted to use vacation, lieu time and/or accumulated sick leave bank time, and these sources are depleted, the employee will receive his/her benefit directly from the Workplace Safety Insurance Board.
