Workers' Compensation Rehabilitation Benefit Maintenance. The Employer and the Union mutually agree to cooperate with the W.C.B. or any other agency in efforts to rehabilitate an injured worker. Where reentry into the Bargaining Unit is not possible because of permanent disability, the parties agree to cooperate to retrain an injured worker. In the case of employees on a W.C.B. Rehabilitation Program, the Employer agrees to maintain benefits for the term of rehabilitation at the level existing at the date of injury to a maximum of a three (3) month period in addition to the six (6) months set out above in Section 14.05. At the end of this maintenance period, benefits shall be determined by hours worked. This benefit maintenance shall not apply to an employee who is being retrained for a job outside any of the Contract Bargaining Units.
