Common use of WORK RELATED INJURY LEAVE Clause in Contracts

WORK RELATED INJURY LEAVE. A. A COACH who sustains a work-related injury as the result of which the COACH is disabled, if so determined by a decision issued under the operation of the Workers’ Compensation Insurance program, shall be entitled to work-related disability leave. Work- related disability leave is a leave of absence for which the COACH will be paid full pay reduced by an amount that yields a net pay, including Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability Benefits, that is equal to the COACH’S net pay immediately prior to the injury. Net pay prior to injury is defined as gross base pay minus federal, state, and local withholding and Social Security and retirement contributions. Work-related disability leave shall be payable for an aggregate of twelve (12) months or for the duration of the disability, whichever is the lesser. In no case, however, will the aggregate of twelve (12) months extend beyond three (3) years from the date the injury occurred. B. There shall be no reduction in credited service under the State Employees’ Retirement Code during the period of time that the COACH is on work-related disability leave. C. A COACH who qualifies for work-related disability leave shall not be entitled to use sick leave during the period of eligibility. If the disability continues, sick leave accumulation may be taken at the expiration of the eligibility period to the extent of such accumulation. Sick leave shall be earned on thirty-four percent (34%) of the work-related disability leave hours used. D. A COACH is required to refund to the Employer the amount of the overpayment of pay if an overpayment results because a claim denial is issued under the operation of the Workers’ Compensation Insurance program. In no case shall a COACH be entitled to full pay and Workers’ Compensation and/or Social Security for the period of eligibility. The Employer shall recover any amount in excess of the COACH’S work-related disability leave amount. Failure to apply for or report Social Security or other applicable disability benefits to the Employer will result in the termination of work-related disability leave. E. Employer-paid coverage for hospital and medical insurance and life insurance as provided in Articles 11 and 12 will continue for the period of time that the COACH is on work- related disability leave under paragraph 6.A above. F. A COACH has the right to return to the same position held before being disabled, for a period of up to three (3) years from the date the injury occurred, provided the COACH is fully capable of performing the duties of that position. This guarantee expires if the disability ceases prior to the expiration of the three (3) year period and the COACH does not return to work immediately; or if the COACH retires or otherwise terminates employment. During this period of time between the end of the work-related disability leave and the end of the guarantee in this paragraph, the COACH will be on leave without pay unless the COACH is using sick leave in accordance with 6.C above. G. The compensation for disability retirement shall be in accordance with applicable law. It is understood that this section is not applicable to retirement under the Alternative Retirement Plan. H. A COACH who sustains a work-related injury during the period of this Agreement, if so determined by a decision issued under the operation of the Workers’ Compensation Insurance program, may be absent from work with pay on ten (10) occasions without use of sick leave for the purpose of continued medical treatment of the work-related injury for a period of three (3) years from the date the injury occurred. Each absence shall not exceed one work day or the minimum amount of time necessary to obtain the medical treatment, whichever is less, and must be substantiated by a doctor’s certificate verifying that the medical services were necessary and related to the work injury. COACHES shall make reasonable efforts to schedule medical appointments during non-work hours. Verification of the length of the medical appointment may be required. This paragraph is not applicable to any absence for which Workers’ Compensation is payable.
