Death and Disability (a) The Employment Term shall terminate on the date of Employee’s death, in which event the Company shall, within 30 days of the date of death, pay to his estate, Employee’s Base Salary, any unpaid bonus awards (including any bonus award for a plan year that has ended prior to the time employment terminated where the award was scheduled to be paid after the date employment terminated), reimbursable expenses and benefits owing to Employee through the date of Employee’s death together with any benefits payable under any life insurance program in which Employee is a participant. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, Employee’s estate will not be entitled to any other compensation upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this subparagraph 8(a).
(b) The Employment Term shall terminate upon Employee’s Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that Employee is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. For purposes of determining Employee’s Disability, the CEO may rely on a determination by the Social Security Administration that Employee is totally disabled or a determination by the Company’s disability insurance carrier that Employee has satisfied the above definition of Disability. In case of such termination, Employee shall be entitled to receive his Base Salary, any unpaid bonus awards (including any bonus award for a plan year that has ended prior to the time employment terminated where the award was scheduled to be paid after the date employment terminated), reimbursable expenses and benefits owing to Employee through the date of termination within 30 days of the date of the Company’s determination of Employee’s Disability, together with any benefits payable under any disability insurance program in which Employee is a participant. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, Employee will not be entitled to any other compensation upon termination of his employment pursuant to this subparagraph 8(b).
For death and disability The Company may also terminate the Employment, at any time, without notice or remuneration (unless notice or remuneration is specifically required by applicable law, in which case notice or remuneration will be provided in accordance with applicable law), if:
(1) the Executive has died, or
(2) the Executive has a disability which shall mean a physical or mental impairment which, as reasonably determined by the Board, renders the Executive unable to perform the essential functions of his employment with the Company, with or without reasonable accommodation, for more than 120 days in any 12-month period, unless a longer period is required by applicable law, in which case that longer period would apply. Upon termination for death or disability, the Executive shall be entitled to the amount of base salary earned and not paid prior to termination. However, the Executive will not be entitled to receive payment of any severance benefits or other amounts by reason of the termination, and the Executive’s right to all other benefits will terminate, except as required by any applicable law.
ILLNESS AND DISABILITY 1. At the beginning of each school year, each administrator shall be credited with a fourteen (14) day sick leave allowance (effective July 1, 2015 twelve (12) day sick leave allowance) to be used for absences caused by illness or disability, or serious illness or quarantine in the family. The family will be defined as husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter, sister, brother, grandparent, parents-in-law, sisters-in-law, brothers-in- law, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. The unused portion of such allowance shall accumulate from year to year up to an unlimited number.
2. Additional sick pay will be granted to administrators who exhaust their accumulated sick leave subject to the following conditions:
a. That a credit of at least twenty-five (25) sick leave days had been accumulated by the administrator at the beginning of the school year, and
b. That a statement from a qualified physician which certifies the illness is submitted to the Superintendent’s office, and
c. That additional sick pay shall not exceed one-half (1/2) of the amount that has been accumulated at the beginning of the school year, and
d. That additional sick pay shall not extend beyond the current school year.
3. An administrator who is unable to work because of personal illness or disability and who has exhausted all sick leave available, shall be granted a leave of absence without pay for the duration of such illness or disability up to one (1) year, and the leave may be renewed each year upon written request by the administrator unless serious permanent disability shall have occurred.
4. Absence due to an on-the-job injury, but not involving personal gross negligence, will entitle the insured to supplemental compensation defined below: Supplemental compensation payable for absence necessitated by injury will be comprised of Worker’s Compensation in part, and payment of the differential by the Board to effect a combined cumulative total equal to the value of accumulated sick days. Only after this combined equivalent amount has been used up, will sick days be charged to the administrator.
5. An administrator who has been absent five (5) consecutive work days may be requested to present a doctor’s statement upon return to work. In case of prolonged illness (after ten (10) consecutive work days) the administrator must provide a report from a doctor. In addition, a pattern of absences may also require a doctor’s statement.
6. Administrators not reporting to work are to notify the Superintendent’s office by 8:00 a.m. the morning of the absence.
7. Family and Medical Leave Act will be in compliance with the Federal guidelines.
INJURY AND DISABILITY 23.01 Where an Employee is absent due to illness or injury which is compensable by WSIB, the following shall apply:
(a) The Employee will not be eligible for paid holidays, sick leave, uniform allowance, or any other benefits of this Agreement, except where specified otherwise, during any absence covered by WSIB.
(b) Provided that the Employee returns to work within fifty-two (52) consecutive weeks of the date of illness or injury, time spent on WSIB shall be considered as time worked for the purpose of calculating the current year’s vacation entitlement under the terms of the Agreement.
23.02 In the case of an absence due to a compensable accident, the Employee will be paid at her regular rate of pay for all scheduled hours on the day of the accident.
23.03 In the case of an absence due to a compensable accident, where the anticipated length of such absence is four (4) months or more, the Employer will post notice of the vacancy in accordance with the job posting procedure (Article 11) of this Agreement. Where the anticipated absence is less than four (4) months, the Employer may fill the position at its discretion.
23.04 The injured Employee shall have a period of thirty-six (36) months from the date of the injury within which she shall preserve the seniority which she has accrued in accordance with Article 9 and within which she shall have the right to return to work upon the recommendation of the WSIB or the attending physician, which shall indicate to the Employer that the Employee has the physical capability to perform her normal job.
(a) If a full-time Employee returns to work within fifty-two (52) weeks following the commencement of a WSIB claim, and the Employee’s former permanent position still exists, the Employee will be returned to her former job, former shift if designated, classification and rate of pay. All Employees who fill vacancies as a result of the above absences shall likewise be returned to their former permanent positions.
(b) If an Employee returns to work after fifty-two (52) weeks following the commencement of the WSIB claim but prior to thirty-six (36) months mentioned in Article 23.04 above, she shall be returned to her former job, or to work of a comparable nature at the same salary level and without loss of seniority or benefits accrued in accordance with Article 9. (This would be effected by the returning Employee displacing the Employee with the least seniority in the category to which she is returning.)
23.06 If, on the recommendation of the WSIB or the attending physician, the Employee is capable only of performing work of a different kind or of a lighter nature, and such work is available within the Home in a classification that is covered by this Agreement, then the returning Employee may exercise her seniority if he/she has the qualifications and can perform the duties without training other than orientation, by bumping into the job at the applicable salary level, displacing the Employee with the least seniority in the classification.
Termination by Disability In the event the employment of the Optionee is terminated by reason of Disability, the Option shall become immediately and fully exercisable as of the date the Committee determines the Optionee terminated for Disability and shall remain exercisable at any time prior to the end of the Exercise Term, or for one (1) year after the date of termination, whichever period is shorter.
Termination by Reason of Disability If, during the term of this Agreement, the Employee, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of Avocent Corporation, has failed to perform his duties under this Agreement on account of illness or physical or mental incapacity, and such illness or incapacity continues for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months, the Employer shall have the right to terminate the Employee’s employment hereunder by delivery of written notice to the Employee at any time after such six month period and payment to the Employee of all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent earned, additional bonus compensation in an amount equal to the average annual bonus earned by the Employee as an employee of Avocent Corporation and its affiliates and predecessors in the two (2) years immediately preceding the date of termination, vested deferred compensation, if any (other than pension plan or profit sharing plan benefits which will be paid in accordance with the applicable plan), any benefits under any plans of Employer or Avocent in which the Employee is a participant to the full extent of the Employee’s rights under such plans (including having the vesting of any awards granted to the Employee under any AHC or Avocent stock option plans fully accelerated), accrued vacation pay and any appropriate business expenses incurred by the Employee in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the date of termination, with the exception of medical and dental benefits which shall continue through the expiration of this Agreement, but the Employee shall not be paid any other compensation or reimbursement of any kind, including without limitation, severance compensation.
Termination upon Disability If this Agreement is terminated by either party as a result of Executive's disability, as determined under Section 6.2, Employer will pay Executive his Salary, and shall provide Executive with all benefits to which Executive is entitled immediately prior to such termination, through the remainder of the calendar month during which such termination is effective and for the three consecutive months thereafter.
Termination Upon Death or Permanent Disability This Agreement shall be automatically terminated on the death of Executive or on the permanent disability of Executive if Executive is no longer able to perform in all material respects the usual and customary duties of Executive’s employment hereunder. For purposes hereof, any condition which in reasonable likelihood is expected to impair Executive’s ability to materially perform Executive’s duties hereunder for a period of three months or more shall be considered to be permanent.
Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability (i) During any period in which the Executive fails to perform his duties as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, he shall continue to receive his full base salary at the rate then in effect until his employment is terminated pursuant to paragraph 3(i) hereof. Thereafter, his benefits, if any, shall be determined in accordance with whatever disability income insurance plan or plans the Corporation may then have in effect; provided, however, that, if at the time Disability of the Executive is established the disability benefits then available are less advantageous to the Executive than the disability benefits which were available on the date the Change in Control became effective, then his termination of employment by the Corporation shall be deemed to have occurred as a voluntary termination for Good Reason under paragraph 3(iii) hereof and not by reason of Disability, and the provisions of paragraph 4(iii) hereof shall apply in lieu of the provisions of this paragraph 4(i).
(ii) If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause or if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive without Good Reason, the Corporation shall pay to him his full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given and the Corporation shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.
(iii) If the Corporation shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than pursuant to paragraph 3(i) or 3(ii) hereof within 24 months after a Change in Control of the Corporation, or if the Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason pursuant to paragraph 3(iii) hereof within 24 months after a Change in Control, then:
(A) The Corporation shall pay to the Executive, not later than thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination, the Executive’s accrued but unpaid base salary through the Date of Termination, plus compensation for current and carried-over unused vacation and compensation days in accordance with the Corporation’s personnel policy, and reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses in accordance with the Corporation’s business expense policy.
(B) In lieu of any further payments of salary to the Executive after the Date of Termination the Corporation shall pay to the Executive, not later than thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination and notwithstanding any dispute between the Executive and the Corporation as to the payment to the Executive of any other amounts under this Agreement or otherwise, a lump sum severance payment (the “Severance Payment”) equal to 2.99 times an amount equal to the sum of (1) the greater of the Executive’s highest annual base salary in effect at any time within the twelve-month period preceding a Change in Control or the Date of Termination, and (2) the greater of (I) the Target Incentive Award or Target Amount to which the Executive would have been entitled under the Corporation’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the “EICP”) or Annual Discretionary Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the “ADMICP”), as applicable, and the base or target amount to which the Executive would have been entitled under any other annual cash bonus program of the Corporation, had he been employed by the Corporation at the end of the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, or (II) the highest amount awarded to the Executive under the EICP or ADMICP and under any other annual cash bonus program of the Corporation during the last three fiscal years prior to the Date of Termination.
(C) In addition to the foregoing amounts payable under paragraph 4(iii)(A) and (B) above, the Executive will be entitled to the following:
(i) a pro rata bonus for the year of termination equal to the Target Incentive Award or Target Amount under the EICP or ADMICP, as applicable, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that have elapsed from the beginning of the fiscal year in which such termination occurs through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the fiscal year, payable not later than thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination;
(ii) any stock option rights held by the Executive which were not fully exercisable on the Date of Termination shall immediately become fully exercisable by the Executive and any restricted stock rights held by the Executive which were not fully vested on the Date of Termination shall immediately become fully vested;
(iii) the Corporation shall maintain in full force and effect, for the Executive’s continued benefit, until the earlier of (I) 36 months after the Date of Termination or (II) the Executive’s 65th birthday, all life, medical and dental insurance programs in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided that his continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such programs; provided, further, that, in the event the Executive’s participation in any such program is barred, the Corporation shall arrange to provide the Executive with benefits substantially similar to those which he was entitled to receive under such programs;
(iv) in addition to the benefits to which the Executive is entitled under the Corporation’s retirement plans in which he participates or any successor plans or programs in effect on the Date of Termination, the Corporation shall pay to the Executive in one lump sum in cash, an amount equal to the actuarial equivalent of the retirement pension to which the Executive would have been entitled under the terms of such retirement plan or programs had he accumulated 36 additional months of continuous service after the Date of Termination (or, if less, the number of months between the Date of Termination and the date on which the Executive attains normal retirement age under the plan) at his base salary rate in effect on the Date of Termination reduced by the single sum actuarial equivalent of any amounts to which the Executive is entitled pursuant to the provisions of said retirement plans and programs, discounted to reflect its then present value, paid at the same time as the Severance Payment; provided that, for purposes of this subparagraph (3), the actuarial equivalents shall be determined, and all other calculations shall be made, using the same methods and assumptions utilized under the Corporation’s retirement plan or programs; provided, however, that such methods and assumptions shall be no less favorable to the Executive than those in effect on the date of the Change in Control; and
(v) If a Change of Control occurs and Executive becomes entitled to compensation under this Paragraph that would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the Company shall reduce its payment of Separation Benefits to the Participant to $1.00 less than that amount which would trigger the excise tax if such reduction would result in the Participant receiving an equal or greater after-tax benefit than the Participant would receive if the full Separation Benefits were paid.
(vi) The Executive’s right to receive payments under this Agreement shall not decrease the amount of, or otherwise adversely affect, any other benefits payable to the Executive under any plan, agreement or arrangement relating to employee benefits provided by the Corporation.
(vii) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this paragraph 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this paragraph 4 be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer or by reason of the Executive’s receipt of or right to receive any retirement or other benefits after the date of termination of employment or otherwise.
(viii) The Corporation may, but shall not be obligated to, provide security for payment of the amounts set forth in this Agreement in a form that will cause such amounts to be includible in the Executive’s gross income only for the taxable year or years in which such amounts are paid to the Executive under the terms of this Agreement. The form of security may include a funded irrevocable grantor trust established so as to satisfy any published Internal Revenue Service guidelines.
(ix) The Corporation may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
Termination for Disability (a) If, as a result of Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, he shall have been absent from his duties with the Bank or the Company on a full-time basis for six (6) consecutive months, and within thirty (30) days after written notice of potential termination is given he shall not have returned to the full-time performance of his duties, the Bank may terminate Executive's employment for "Disability."
(b) The Bank will pay Executive, as disability pay, a bi-weekly payment equal to 75% of the Executive's bi-weekly rate of Base Salary on the effective date of such termination. These disability payments shall commence on the effective date of Executive's termination and will end on the earlier of (i) the date Executive returns to the full-time employment of the Bank in the same capacity as he was employed prior to his termination for Disability and pursuant to an employment agreement between Executive and the Bank; (ii) Executive's full-time employment by another employer; (iii) Executive attaining a Retirement age as identified in Section 6; or (iv) Executive's death. The disability pay shall be reduced by the amount, if any, paid to the Executive under any plan of the Bank or the Company providing disability benefits to the Executive.
(c) The Bank will cause to be continued life, medical, and dental coverage substantially comparable, as reasonable or customarily available, to the coverage maintained by the Bank for Executive prior to his termination for Disability, except to the extent such coverage may be changed in its application to all Bank employees. This coverage shall cease upon the earlier of (i) the date Executive returns to the full-time employment of the Bank in the same capacity as he was employed prior to his termination for Disability and pursuant to an employment agreement between Executive and the Bank; (ii) Executive's full-time employment by another employer; (iii) Executive attaining the Retirement age as identified in Section 6; or (iv) Executive's death.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, there will be no reduction in the compensation otherwise payable to Executive during any period during which Executive is incapable of performing his duties hereunder by reason of temporary disability.
