Any employee who becomes unable to perform duties as assigned by the Employer due to a physical injury suffered in the discharge or performance of official duties as an employee of the City shall be eligible for wage continuation. Wage Continuation leave shall be available for up to seven hundred twenty (720) work hours. These seven hundred twenty (720) work hours are fully paid by the Employer, and are in lieu of Workers' Compensation benefits. An employee who applies for wage continuation will apply to BWC for medical benefits only and not lost income benefits. The employee may apply for lost income benefits toward the end of the wage continuation if it is known that the absence will continue beyond paid wage continuation. Recurring injuries do not qualify employees to receive wage continuation pay beyond the allowable seven hundred twenty (720) work hours provided at the time of the initial work connected injury date. During the first twelve (12) weeks following the conclusion of the paid leave, the employee may utilize sick or vacation time to supplement the Workers' Compensation benefits.
Wage Continuation. Section 52.1 An employee who suffers a compensable workers’ compensation injury and who is temporarily and totally disable as a result of the injury may be eligible to receive compensation from the Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC).
Section 52.2 COP is the continuation of full hourly wages and benefits.
1. COP is not payable unless the employee makes a workers’ compensation claim. It is certified by the District when the employee has provided all necessary documentation to include any and all District Injury Report Forms, the BWC First Report of Injury (FROI), medical releases, Managed Care Organization (MCO) forms, Third-Party Administrator forms and any other related records required by the Risk Manager or Supervisor. COP may be approved by the district only if it is fiscally responsible.
2. COP payments are computed on the basis of employees; base rate of pay and normally scheduled hours, not to exceed forty (40) hours per week. Part-time employees will have payment pro-rated. Time authorized under COP is considered time worked for employees still in their probationary period, if any. COP must be recorded using the appropriate payroll codes which the Treasurer shall provide for salaried and hourly employees. Payroll clerks shall properly code COP when paid. An employee continues to accrue sick leave while on COP if they would have otherwise accrued such leaves.
3. Payments are made only for periods the employee would have been eligible for temporary total workers’ compensation benefits for injuries and will be terminated when the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation or the Industrial Commission has determined the employee has reached maximum medical improvement, when an offer of transitional duty has been made by the District and declined by the employee, or when determined by the Board per section 52.1 of this article.
4. An injured employee receiving COP cannot concurrently receive, for the same period of time, any other District compensation (e.g., sick leave, supplemental contract pay, etc.) or temporary total compensation payments from the State of Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.
