Common use of On-the-Job Injury Clause in Contracts

On-the-Job Injury. Whenever an employee is absent due to an illness or injury arising out of and in the course of employment, the unit member shall receive full compensation, less any Workers’ Compensation insurance benefits received, during the first fifteen (15) working days of such absence without deduction from accrued comprehensive leave. Thereafter, if the employee is still properly absent from duty, they may receive, from accrued comprehensive leave, if any, an amount equal to the difference between the amount the member receives as Workers’ Compensation insurance benefits and the amount of their regular compensation until the unit member returns to work or accrued leave is exhausted. If comprehensive leave is exhausted, then the unit member will be compensated at the statutory rate under the current Workers’ Compensation regulations by the Town’s Workers’ Compensation Insurance carrier. All benefits, including but not limited to, leave accrual, health insurance, and retirement, shall be reduced proportionally to the reduction in work hours; exceptions to the pro-ration may be considered by the Town Manager.
