Common use of Workers’ Compensation Advance Clause in Contracts

Workers’ Compensation Advance. (a) If a claim for Workers’ Compensation Benefits is made by the Employer on behalf of a Full-time Nurse, said Nurse may, in return for turning over all monies received for said Compensation, elect to receive full salary from the Nurse’s accumulated sick leave bank until such time as the claim is adjudicated in the Nurses’ favour. At such time, the Nurse will be entitled to assign the Workers’ Compensation Benefits to the Employer in exchange for bi-weekly advances equivalent to the Workers’ Compensation supplement. In addition, the qualifying Nurse will be entitled to full restoration of the sick bank to the pre-accident amount. In order to qualify for advances, a Nurse must have a minimum of two (2) weeks sick time entitlement. (b) A Full-time Registered Nurse who is off work due to compensable illness or an injury incurred in the employ of the Employer and is receiving benefits from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, may draw on accumulated sick leave to make up the difference between the basic rate of pay and the Workers' Compensation benefits.
