Common use of Recurrence of Disability Clause in Contracts

Recurrence of Disability. When a nurse returns from an absence due to a Total Disability and works for three (3) continuous weeks, her benefit period for STD will be reinstated in full, however, if within three (3) calendar weeks following her return to work she is disabled from the same or a related cause, only the remainder of the STD benefit period as described in (c) above will apply. If within three (3) regular work weeks following a return to work, the nurse becomes disabled from an unrelated cause of injury or illness, her benefit period will be reinstated in full. However, if she remains absent from work and she becomes further disabled (due to a related or unrelated cause of injury/illness) the STD benefit period will not be reinstated. If a nurse returns to work on an approved modified work programme, she is not considered to be Actively at Work. The time spent doing modified work continues to count toward the expiry of the STD benefit period and does not cause it to be reinstated.
