Supplemental Sick Pay (SSP. A balance of SSP hours shall be established to provide employees an option to receive full pay during any prolonged non-occupational illness or injury. A. SSP hours may be accumulated by converting excess FTO, as described in Section 12.3, or an employee may also voluntarily convert additional FTO to SSP, in eight (8) hour increments, at the end of each calendar year. Except as provided in Appendix III, SSP will not be cashed out upon an employee’s termination of employment. B. An employee who has a SSP balance may draw upon that balance commencing the sixth (6th) consecutive workday of an absence for the same disability. An employee may also commence using SSP for an extended absence after an intermittent leave of up to forty (40) hours within ten (10) consecutive work days for the same disability. SSP shall be paid at one hundred percent (100%) of the employee’s straight-time hourly base rate, except for instances when the employee is eligible to receive disability pay from the Health & Welfare Trust. In such cases, the payment shall be adjusted so that the sum of SSP plus disability pay from the Health & Welfare Trust equals the employee’s base rate. SSP may continue until the employee is no longer disabled, or until the employee becomes eligible to receive benefits under the Company’s LTD Plan, whichever occurs first. C. During the first six (6) months of any absence for which the employee is eligible to receive disability payments from the Health & Welfare Trust, the Company shall make required pension contributions for each hour of SSP received by the employee. During such period, however, Health & Welfare contributions shall not be applicable.
