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. This shall be applied such that the combination of any WSIB salary or wage award plus the employer top-up shall, in total, equal the net pay of the member's current salary. The non-economic loss portion of any WSIB pension payments shall not be considered as being a salary or wage award, and hence shall not form part of these calculations. A member who does not comply with the provisions of the Workplace Safety & Insurance Act or Regulations thereto and subsequently receives a salary or wage award of an amount less than the prevailing maximum payable due to such non-compliance, shall not receive from the Niagara Police Board the difference between the wage or salary award paid by the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board and his or her current net salary for the said period of six (6) months. For the purpose of this Clause, net pay shall be the pay for the member as shown in Appendix "A" less those deductions required under Government Statutes, pension plans and as provided for in this Agreement.
27.2 Subject to the terms of this Article, each member covered by this Agreement who is injured as a result of carrying out his/her duties shall not be deprived of his/her vacations or statutory holidays as a result thereof, and shall accumulate such vacation credits and statutory holidays as he/she might otherwise receive.
27.2.1 Each member shall be entitled to accumulate the float time that he/she might otherwise receive for a period of three (3) months following the injury.
27.2.2 In respect of members who have been off work and receiving WSIB benefits for less than two (2) consecutive calendar years, within one week of the member's return, the member and the Chief of Police or designee shall mutually agree upon when the vacation credit, statutory holidays and float time shall be taken within the following twelve (12) months, or in the alternative, the member may elect to be paid for same at the rates of pay applicable in the year of accrual.

Workplace Safety Insurance. (i) When an Employee has submitted a claim to the Workplace Safety & Insurance Employer, the Employer will advance the Employee a net payment* during the absence and the Employee's accumulated sick leave account will be charged one
(1) full day for each day absent until the Employee's accumulated sick leave has expired or until the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board renders a decision, whichever comes first.
(ii) Should the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board allow the lost time, the Employee's accumulated sick leave account will be adjusted within fifteen (15) working days of the Employer receiving written confirmation from the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board, to reflect the appropriate percentage top up not covered by the Workplace Safety & Insurance Allowance. The Workplace Safety & Insurance Allowance for such absence will be paid to the Employer. When the Employee's accumulated sick leave account has expired, the Workplace Safety & Insurance Allowance will be paid by the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board directly to the Employee and the Employee will be placed on an approved leave of absence, without pay.
(iii) Should the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board deny the lost time, the Employee's accumulated sick leave account will continue to be charged one (1) full day for each day absent until the Employee returns to work or until the Employee's accumulated sick leave account has expired, whichever comes first. The amount of any advance paid to the Employee will be converted fully to sick leave salary, necessary to remit the Employee’s federal income tax, employment insurance premiums, and Canada Pension Plan contributions. At the expiration of the Employee's accumulated sick leave, the procedure outlined in Article XIV, 14.01(e) will apply.

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.
Workplace Safety Insurance. If a claim for Workplace Safety Insurance benefits is made by the Employer on behalf of a full-time employee, said full-time employee may, in return for turning over all monies received for said benefits, elect to receive full salary from the full-time employee’s accumulated sick bank until such time as the claim is adjudicated in the full-time employee’s favour. At such time, the full-time employee will be entitled to assign the Workplace Safety Insurance benefits to the Employer in exchange for bi-weekly advances equivalent to the Workplace Safety Insurance entitlement. In addition, the qualifying full- time employee will be entitled to full restoration of the sick bank to the pre-accident amount.
