Common use of Sickness and Accident Clause in Contracts

Sickness and Accident. Any employee who is unable to work because of sickness or accident requiring a doctor's care will be entitled, on application, to a leave of absence provided, however, that in order to obtain such leave of absence a physician must certify in writing that such employee is unable to work by reason of sickness or accident and in order to keep such leave of absence in effect, a physician's certificate must be renewed at sixty (60) day intervals. Any employee returning from such leave must be approved in writing by a doctor satisfactory to the Company and the Union before they may again go to work. An employee who has been granted leave of absence due to sickness or accident and wishes to return to work will be reinstated to his/her former position if available. If his/her former position is no longer available, he/she will be placed in a position generally similar in line with his/her seniority and ability, if he/she is unable to carry out his/her regular duties the Company will endeavor to provide suitable work for him/her within the plant. The Company will pay up to $50.00 for all forms filled out by doctors. Should an employee not receive Sickness and Accident benefits within two (2) weeks from application, the Company will advance the employee 75% of benefits, provided they sign the proper release to reimburse the Company. The Company agrees to allow employees to file for S&A benefits while their WSIB claim is being disputed.
