WSIB BRIDGING. (The following clause is applicable to full-time employees only) It is agreed that an employee who is absent from work as a result of an illness or injury sustained at work, and who is waiting for approval from the WSIB for their current absence, will be advanced a base wage continuance in the amount equivalent to that paid under an approved WSIB benefit, until the time of the approval or denial by WSIB. The wage continuance is subject to the employee's agreement to provide medical certification required by the short term disability plan agreed to by the Parties. Should such application be denied by the WSIB, any monies advanced by the Corporation during the adjudication period and appeal procedure, if applicable, will be charged to the employee's sick leave plan in accordance with the duration of the plan and in any event the employee shall not be entitled to bridging support beyond their entitlement under the short term disability plan.
