Common use of WorkSafeBC Payments Clause in Contracts

WorkSafeBC Payments. Employees on WorkSafeBC Injury Compensation will be paid an advance equal to the lesser of their base hours (i.e. seven and one-half [7 1/2] in the case of Operators) times their hourly rate times sixty-eight percent (68%) or the WorkSafeBC maximum for each day the employees are off on WorkSafeBC Injury Compensation. The advance will be paid on their regular pay cheques. Payments from the WorkSafeBC (WSCB) will then be paid directly to the Employer. If the WSCB reassesses the employees' wage loss compensation, the Employer will change the amount of the advance accordingly. An employee whose WSCB claim is denied must apply for benefits under the Wage Protection Plan and repay the WSCB advance from those benefits. If the advance is not fully covered by the Wage Protection Plan benefits, the difference will be recovered from the employee's pay in accordance with the following: Amounts will be recovered: 1. in not more than ten (10) consecutive pay periods, except as provided in (3) below; and 2. in relatively equal payments, at no less than $100 per payment, unless the outstanding balance to be repaid is less than $100, in which case the entire amount will be recovered in one payment; and 3. In cases where the amounts owed exceed $1,000, the Pay Department will advise the Union and the Employee to ensure the Employee understands the repayment plan; and 4. in cases where the amount to be recovered on one single pay cheque exceeds 50% of the employee’s regular net pay*, the amount recovered per cheque will be adjusted to 50% of the employee’s regular net pay and the number of pay periods over which the amount is recovered will be extended beyond ten (10) to the number of pay periods required to recover the entire amount of the advance; and 5. in cases where the above arrangement would create extreme economic hardship for the employee, the Employer and the Union will meet to discuss alternate payment arrangements. (*Regular net pay is defined as gross pay less statutory and mandatory deductions.) Upon termination, any outstanding WSBC advance will be recovered from the employee's final pay.
