Workers' Compensation Leave. A. When an injury is determined to be job-related in accordance with Article XII, a regular, limited-term, or probationary employee shall be placed on Workers' Compensation Leave. If such determination cannot readily be made, and all sick leave or 192 hours of annual leave has been applied to the absence, the employee shall be placed on Official Leave until a final determination is made.
Workers' Compensation Leave. 11. Early Retirement Incentive Plan - separate from B 12. Leave of Absence Incentive Plan
Workers' Compensation Leave. After completion of the twelve (12) week family and medical leave requested because of a serious health condition that made the employee unable to perform the functions of their job, a supplemental worker's compensation leave of absence for the remainder of the school year will be granted to employees who are unable to continue to work for the Employer because of a work related injury or disease for which the employee is entitled to receive benefits under the Worker's Compensation laws of the State of Michigan and is receiving payments from the Employer, subject to the Employer's right to require medical proof. At the completion of the initial period of the leave, the Employer shall grant an extension of the leave for up to an additional twelve (12) months if the employee can present evidence from their treating physician that there is a substantial likelihood that the employee will be able to return to work during the period of extended leave. An employee whose leave ends prior to their being able to return to work will be considered to be on layoff with rights to return in accordance with the recall procedure. The Employer may require at reasonable times, as a condition of continuance of a worker's compensation leave of absence, proof of a continuing inability to perform work for the Employer. Employees who incur a work-related injury or disease for which they are receiving worker's compensation benefits may utilize accrued paid sick leave days, charged to the employee's sick leave account on a pro rata basis, to maintain the difference between the employee's net take-home pay based upon their regular salary and the worker's compensation benefits received. It is agreed between the parties that this use of paid sick leave is not a wage continuation program as that term is utilized in the Worker's Compensation Act. In the event that this use is claimed to be a wage continuation program by the Board's worker's compensation carrier, the parties agree to renegotiate this subsection. As a condition of receipt of such supplemental payments, the employee agrees to reimburse the Employer for any duplicate amounts received in instances where paid sick leave is utilized and worker's compensation later provides payment for the same days.
