Use of Injury Leave. In a case where an employee suffers a qualifying workplace injury or illness, which is accepted by the Employer and paid under the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the following plan shall apply:
Use of Injury Leave. 1. Subject to availability of funds, an employee who suffers a workplace injury which is the result of a physical assault will be granted paid leave of absence up to a maximum of one thousand (1000) hours during the term of the Agreement. If the employee’s absence from regularly scheduled work due to injury is more than one thousand (1000) hours, payment for that absence shall be made solely as prescribed in the Worker’s Compensation Act and personal leave provisions of this Agreement. The application and interpretation of the provisions of the Worker’s Compensation Act are not subject to the grievance provisions of the Agreement.
Use of Injury Leave. The employee's eligibility for payment of injury leave will be based on the determination of the City's Worker Compensation insurance carrier under the terms of the State Worker's Compensation Act. Such employee shall be paid the difference between his actual wages and that received from the Worker's Compensation insurance carrier. Under no conditions shall an employee receive injury leave until the insurance carrier rules whether or not the employee's accident was job related and covered by Worker's
Use of Injury Leave. An employee who receives injury leave may use their accumulated sick leave days which shall be considered as compensation from the Employer for the time off work beginning when the employee is first absent from work and ending no later than when the employee actually receives Workers Compensation benefits or for twelve (12) weeks, whichever is earlier. The maximum amount of accumulated sick leave days that can be used must be exactly equal to the Workers Compensation benefits the employee is entitled to receive, however, only to the extent the employee has accumulated sick leave days. Employee use of accumulated sick leave days in this section is contingent upon the injured employee filing for benefits and having those benefits approved. If, for some reason, the Employer credits accumulated sick leave days to the employee and the Workers Compensation claim is not approved, the employee must reimburse the Employer for the amounts advance. In lieu of collecting Workers Compensation benefits, the Employer, at its sole discretion, may place the Employee on modified duty and/or wage continuation for the duration of the injury leave. Any assigned modified duty shall be within the limits prescribed by the Employee's attending physician.
Use of Injury Leave. The employee's eligibility for payment of injury leave will be based on the determination of the City's worker's compensation insurance carrier under the terms of the state Worker's Compensation Act, if such employee is eligible for worker's compensation payments. Such employee, if eligible for worker's compensation, shall be paid the difference between their actual wages and that received from the worker's compensation insurance carrier. Provided, however, that the City will not pay injury leave to any employee unless the employee provides documentation from a licensed medical doctor that an injury exists. Should a question arise concerning the employee's ability to return to work, the employee shall submit documentation concerning the injury from a licensed medical doctor.
