Sick Leave (Short Term Disability. Effective 1 January 1990, all regular employees regardless of length of service will be eligible for sick leave at full pay during the qualifying period (off 105 calendar days within a continuous 26 week period) for benefits under the income continuance (long term disability) plan. Should an employee who is in receipt of paid sick leave benefits as a result of accidental injuries be successful in a claim for damages against a third party in connection with such accidental injuries, and should that settlement or award of damages include monies for lost wages, the Employer shall be reimbursed the full amount of sick leave benefits, net of legal fees attributable to that portion of the settlement or damages representing lost wages, but not more than those received as a result of the absence from work. Upon receipt of such monies, the Employer will ensure that the employee’s current sick leave entitlement is no less than what it would be had the employee not taken sick leave on account of the injury.
