Workplace Safety Insurance. 27.1 Each member covered by this Agreement who is absent on account of injuries received while on duty and who is receiving a pension, salary or wage award from the Workplace Safety and Insurance shall be entitled to be paid the difference between the pension wage or salary award from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board and his or her current net salary as long as such member remains in the employ of the Niagara Police Board.

Workplace Safety Insurance. The University pays premiums annually to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) based on an amount per $100.00 of assessable earnings for each employee in accordance with the rates set annually by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board provides compensation and/or medical aid to employees who, as a result of an accident related to their work, are injured to the extent that they experience a loss of time from work. Employees who suffer an injury at work must immediately report this injury to their supervisors who in turn must immediately report this injury to the Health and Safety Office (Department of Risk Management). This procedure should be followed whether or not the injury is severe enough to warrant loss of time from work and/or medical aid. A report is filed with WSIB immediately. Such a procedure aids in the establishment of claims at a later date, if necessary, and in the correction of safety hazards in the University work place. The University is required to pay fines to WSIB for late filing of accident reports.
