Weekly benefits will begin with the first day of disability due to injury, or the third working day if disability is due to illness. In the event an employee works part of, but no more than four (4) hours of, his regularly scheduled shift and is absent for the balance of that shift due to verified illness, the remainder of that shift will constitute half (½) a day of the two (2) day waiting period applicable to an illness claim. This plan will be administered by the insurance company. If a delay occurs with a Short Term Disability (STD) claim, the Company will work with the employee to provide the insurance carrier with the necessary information to accelerate the processing of the claim. Income benefits received under Workers’ Compensation and any other type of insurance benefit, will be deducted from payments made by the insurance company. Any dispute regarding the payment of benefits will be subject to the grievance and arbitration provisions of the Collective Agreement.
