Worker’s Disability Compensation. Provisions of the Michigan Worker's Disability Compensation Act shall apply in all accidents or injuries to members in the line of duty. Each member occupying a position of permanent full time employee, who is unable to work as a result of an injury arising out of the course of his employment, shall receive full pay for the one (1) week waiting period required by the Worker's Disability Compensation Act, which shall not be chargeable to his sick leave, provided, that if an employee does receive worker's compensation for the first week of injury, he shall pay over such compensation to the City of Madison Heights. Further payment shall be the amount provided under the Michigan Worker's Disability Compensation Act, to which the City shall add an amount in addition to the amount being received from the worker's disability compensation payment, which shall equal ninety percent (90%) of the member's net pay at the time of injury. Net pay referred to herein shall be the annual gross base less federal and state income taxes, at the time of the injury. The employee shall have the option of using accumulated sick time and/or vacation time to make up the difference between ninety percent (90%) and one-hundred percent (100%) of net pay. Sick pay shall then be charged at one-tenth (1/10th) of a day for each day used. Once established, the amount paid by the City shall not increase and two (2) years from the date of injury all City payments and benefits shall cease. If within said two (2) year period, the member shall become qualified for assistance under his/her retirement program, or if the member becomes able to work in some business or occupation other than his established occupation which will pay an amount substantially equal to or more than that allowed by his/her retirement program for total disability retirement, the City's amount shall be terminated. Ability to work in another business or occupation will be determined by a medical committee composed of one doctor selected by the City, one doctor selected by the Supervisors and Assistants Union, and a third medical doctor selected by the first two doctors. The City and the Supervisors and Assistants Union shall each pay for their own selected doctor and share equally the cost of the third doctor. Failure on the part of the disabled member to submit to such medical examination shall automatically terminate the City's obligation hereunder. The City shall pay the hospitalization insurance premium for a period of t...

Accumulated sick leave shall not be considered in the computation of leave on account of injuries. Employees shall not be entitled to regular compensation during absence from duty on account of injuries if said injury was sustained while not on regular duty. Such absence from duty shall be considered as sick leave and shall be governed by the rules pertaining to sick leave.

Worker’s Disability Compensation. A secretary who is absent because of an injury or disease under the Worker’s Disability Compensation Act shall make a written election of one of the following options at the time she becomes eligible for workers’ compensation benefits:
1. The secretary may utilize her accumulated sick leave for each day absent provided that she reimburses the District for the amount of workers’ compensation benefits received for the corresponding pay period. Secretaries shall only be eligible to access this alternative if they have sufficient sick leave accumulation.
2. The secretary may elect to receive workers’ compensation benefits only.
3. The secretary may elect to receive the difference between her regular compensation and the amount received as workers’ compensation benefits.

(For example: if workers’ compensation pays sixty percent (60%) of full pay, sick leave will only pay forty percent (40%) and the sick leave accumulation shall be charged .4 of a day for each day so used.) Secretaries shall only be eligible to access this alternative if they have sufficient sick leave accumulation. Injuries or diseases compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Act shall be reported immediately to the Human Resources Office so instruction may be given on how to proceed relative to billing of medical services, reporting, etc. A secretary who is absent because of an injury or disability shall not return to work without first presenting notification from a physician that the secretary may return to work and is capable of performing the essential functions of her assignment, with or without reasonable accommodation.
