Sick Leave Plan for Full-Time Employees. Full-time employees (except full-time employees who have been on probation for less than three calendar months, full-time term employees and full-time temporary employees), have a sick leave plan which provides full salary from the date they are unable to work for a maximum of fifteen (15) consecutive weeks. After fifteen (15) consecutive weeks of sick leave has been paid, the Employer will then, under its Supplemental Employment Benefit (SUB) Plan, top up Employment Insurance (EI) sick benefits for up to the next fifteen (15) weeks of sick leave to 95% of the employee=s normal weekly income. During this second 15 week period, employees continue to make pension contributions based on full salary and receive credited service under the Mount Xxxxxxx Pension Plan or, in the case of those employees in the Sun Life Pension Plan, both employee and employer pension contributions continue based on the employee=s full salary. The Employer will again make sick leave payments equivalent to full salary to employees who are not able to return to work after the expiration of the second fifteen (15) week period. These payments will continue until the earlier of a) the date the employee becomes eligible to receive income payments under the long term disability plan and b) the date the employee has received six months of income in total from the Employer as sick leave payments and as SUB plan benefits. If an employee does not qualify for payments under the SUB plan, the Employer will pay sick leave payments until the total of all sick leave benefits equals six months of the employee=s regular salary. If an employee returns to work after an absence on sick leave, full benefits will be available immediately for new disabilities which commence after the return to work. If an employee returns to work after an absence on sick leave, full benefits will be available for a reoccurrence of the same disability when the employee has been back at work for three calendar months. However, if an employee has a reoccurrence of the same disability before full benefits are available for a reoccurrence of the same disability, benefits will nevertheless be paid a) for one month or b) until the equivalent of six months of benefits have been paid in respect of that disability, whichever period is longer. Part-time employees have the same coverage as full-time employees except that only part-time pay is continued during the leave. Medical certificates may be required by the Employer.
