SICKNESS OR INJURY. 11.1 If unable to perform the Duties due to sickness or injury the Executive shall report this fact as soon as possible on the first working day of incapacity to an executive member of the Board, and provide, so far as practicable, an expected date of return to work.

11.5 Any outstanding or prospective entitlement to company sick pay in accordance with sub-clause 11.3, private medical insurance benefits or permanent health insurance benefits shall not prevent the Company from exercising its right to terminate the Employment in accordance with sub-clause 12.4 nor shall the Company be liable to compensate the Executive in respect of any such pay or benefit.
11.6 If the Executive’s sickness, injury or other incapacity is caused by the negligence or breach of statutory duty of a third party and the Executive shall recover any damages or other compensation from such third party for the Executive’s loss of earnings whilst incapacitated, the Executive shall repay to the Company the amount of any sick pay paid by the Company to the Executive under sub-clause 11.3 or, if less, the full amount of the damages or compensation received for loss of earnings by the Executive.

SICKNESS OR INJURY. On the first day of absence from work due to sickness or injury the Employee should contact the Minister stating the reason for his/her absence and, if possible, the expected date of return. If the Employee has not returned to work by the third working day, the Employee should write to the Minister confirming the reason for the Employee’s continuing absence and the Employee’s expected date of return. If on the seventh consecutive day of absence (including Saturdays and Sundays) the Employee is still unable to work the Employee should obtain a Doctor’s Certificate and send this to the Minister and further certificates should be provided thereafter so that the Employee’s whole period of absence is covered by such certificates. If the Employee finds that he/she is unable to return to work on any expected date he/she should contact the Minister. If the Employee is absent from work due to illness or injury, he/she should use reasonable endeavours (so far as he/she is able) to assist the Minister in finding a suitable substitute who can cover his/her work when he/she is away. On the Employee’s return to work after a period of sick leave, he/she should complete and sign a Self-Certificate Declaration (SCD) form (available from the Minister). The completed form should be returned to the Minister on the Employee’s first day back at work. The PCC’s sickness and absence records are based on these forms and the Employee’s completed form will constitute the Employee’s claim for pay during the period of absence. Any false or inaccurate statement made by the Employee on an SCD form could amount to serious misconduct. Subject to compliance with the foregoing, the PCC will pay the Employee Statutory Sick Pay (“SSP) in accordance with the current legislation. Any sickness benefit or other Social Security benefit (apart from SSP) received or receivable by the Employee during any period of absence through sickness or injury must be notified to the PCC and will be deducted from any payments to which the Employee is then entitled. The PCC may require the Employee at any time to undergo medical examination by a medical adviser appointed by the PCC and the Employee will authorise the medical adviser carrying out any such examination to disclose to the PCC the results of the examination. The PCC will make pension contributions in respect of the Employee when required to do so by law and at the rates specified by law.
