An employee who is absent from work as a result of an illness or injury sustained at work and who has been awaiting approval of a claim for WSIB benefits for a period longer than one complete shift may apply to the Hospital for payment equivalent to the lesser of the benefit she would receive from WSIB benefits if her claim was approved, or the benefit to which she would be entitled under the short term sick leave plan.

If the claim for WSIB benefits is not approved, the monies paid as an advance will be applied towards the benefits to which the employee would be entitled under the short term sick leave plan. Any payment under this provision will continue for a maximum of fifteen (15) weeks. Where an employee is prevented from working for the Hospital on account of an occupational illness or accident that is recognized by the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board as compensable within the meaning of the Workplace Safety & Insurance Act, the Hospital, on application from the employee will utilize the employee's accumulated sick leave credits to supplement the award made by the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board for loss of wages to the employee by such amount that the award of the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board for loss of wages, together with the supplementation of the Hospital, will equal 100% of the employee's net earnings, to the limit of the employee's accumulate sick leave credits. Where a WSIB top-up is currently provided from general revenue, it will be provided on the same basis except that it will continue to be provided from general revenue.
