Common use of ACC Clause in Contracts

ACC. 32.1 Where an employee is incapacitated as a result of a work accident (except where the accident is a work place assault – see clause 32.2 below), and that employee is on earnings related compensation, then the employer agrees to supplement the employee’s compensation by 20% of base salary during the period of incapacitation. This leave shall be taken as a charge against untaken Sick Leave entitlement, to the extent entitlement exists. The employer may agree to reimburse employees for treatment and other expenses or for financial disadvantage incurred as a result of a work-related accident. This agreement will be on a case by case basis. 32.2 Where an employee is incapacitated as a result of a work place assault, and that employee is on earnings related compensation, then the employer will top up the ACC payments to 100% of normal/ordinary rate of pay during the period of incapacitation. This top up payment shall not be debited against the employee’s untaken sick leave entitlement. The employer will reimburse the employee for any costs incurred that are part charges for ACC agreed treatment and other associated ACC expenses. 32.3 For non work -related accidents, where the employee requests, the employer shall supplement the employee’s compensation by 20% of base salary and this shall be debited against the employee’s untaken Sick Leave entitlement, to the extent entitlement exists.
