SICK PAY BENEFIT. The Company will arrange for a sick pay benefit for full-time employees if the employee is unable to work as a result of a non-work related personal disability. Qualified employees will be paid 100% of regular earnings to a maximum of 52 weeks. Benefits are paid in the form of salary continuance and all normal payroll deductions will continue. It is the employee’s responsibility to provide satisfactory medical evidence in order to be eligible for this benefit. If an employee returns to work and within 12 months becomes disabled again from the same or related causes, the disability is considered to be a continuation of the initial absence. If an employee returns to work and subsequently becomes disabled from a totally unrelated disability, then the full sick pay benefit entitlement is applicable. The amount of sick pay benefit to be paid will be reduced by disability income payable under a government plan after becoming totally disabled, including the disability pension to which you are entitled under Canada/Quebec Pension Plan (excluding benefits payable for dependent children) and an auto insurance policy, where permitted by law. Casual employees hired for a stated work term in excess of three months on a 37.5 hour work schedule who have completed a minimum of 13 weeks of the stated work term will be eligible for up to 5 paid sick days during the balance of the stated work term but in no event shall any paid days extend beyond the end of the stated work term. Satisfactory medical evidence of a non-work related personal disability must be provided prior to any sick pay benefit being paid.
