Work Related Disability. Workers’ Compensation issues will be administered in accordance with the provisions of the Vermont Workers Compensation Statute (21 V.S.A., Chapter 9). This shall include, by way of example and not limitation, employment reinstatement rights. If an employee is injured while on duty, they must notify their Principal/Director and file an injury report within 24 hours of the incident giving rise to the injury/illness except in extraordinary circumstances. During any period of disability between the date of the injury and the date a Workers’ Compensation determination is made (which could be up to 28 days per state statute), the employee will utilize available sick leave (one day of sick leave for each day of absence) as provided by this Agreement. If the District’s Workers’ Compensation carrier accepts the claim, the employee shall prospectively use (and be paid) the equivalent of up to 1/3 of their daily hours (rounded down to the nearest quarter hour) of available sick leave for days in which work time is missed due to work injury (unless the employee requests otherwise in writing) for a period of up to eighteen (18) months with the understanding that after six (6) months the employee will only have reinstatement rights under workers compensation law even when still receiving pay and medical insurance benefits from the district. These sick leave payments are in addition to any Workers’ Compensation lost wage payments made to the employee in an effort to allow the employee to supplement their workers compensation payments up to their “full” pay (approximately 2/3 from Workers Compensation and up to 1/3 from the District) for a period of up to eighteen (18) months. During this period in which the employee is using their available sick leave, if the employee is enrolled in the District’s medical insurance coverage, premiums will continue to be taken from the paid time off used and medical insurance coverage shall continue. If paid time off amounts are not enough to cover the employee’s full medical premium costs, any missed medical premium shall be held in arrears and deducted from future paychecks until payment is received in full. This medical insurance continuation shall be considered part of the employee’s COBRA coverage with the District. Once sick leave is exhausted (if before the end of the 18-month period), the employee may choose to continue their medical coverage at their own expense (100% of the COBRA rates) under COBRA. If the employee opts not to ...
Work Related Disability. Employees injured on the job will be paid in full for the day of the accident provided the attending physician advises an employee not to return to work for the balance of the day. If able to work, employees must return to their duties. Employees failing to do so will not be paid for the hours not worked. Maintenance employees requiring further medical treatment as a direct result of said accident will not lose time while receiving treatment provided the treatment requires only a nominal amount of time. Maintenance employees requiring further treatment during working hours will be reimbursed for the cost of Company approved transportation to and from the garage plus time lost for treatments. Employees on work-related disability may be required to be examined by a physician, at the request of and paid for by the Company, to substantiate such disability. Failure of employees to make themselves available for such examination, or failure to report for duty immediately after an examination which determines that an employee is fit for duty, may result in discipline up to and including termination. The Company will determine the availability of transitional duty work. If more than one transitional duty job is available, seniority will prevail. An employee who fails to report to transitional duty will be terminated. Employees on workers’ compensation who are not fit for regular duty but are fit for transitional duty must report for such duty in any position or department in which the Company offers it in the same commuting area, or, for operators, at the domicile closest to their home address, without loss of seniority. If work is not available for operators at the domicile closest to their home address, operators may choose to work at another location where transitional duty work is available, if agreed by the Company and the Union. Mechanics who are fit to work on transitional duty will work their regular shift at their home maintenance location. However, the Company may assign a transitional duty mechanic to an alternate shift if the transitional duty mechanic is the only mechanic assigned to his/her regular shift.

Work Related Disability. Section 1. a. An employee who sustains a work-related injury, during the period of this agreement, as the result of which the employee is disabled, if so determined by a decision issued under the operation of the Workers' Compensation Program, shall be entitled to use accumulated sick or annual leave or injury leave without pay. While using accumulated leave, the employee will be paid a supplement to workers' compensation of full pay reduced by an amount that yields a net pay, including workers' compensation and social security disability benefits, that is equal to the employee's net pay immediately prior to the injury. Net pay prior to injury is defined as gross base pay minus federal, state, and local withholding, unemployment compensation tax, social security and retirement contributions. One full day of accumulated leave (7.5 or 8 hours as appropriate) will be charged for each day the supplement is paid. Accumulated leave and injury leave without pay may be used for an aggregate of nine (9) months (274 calendar days) or for the duration of the disability, whichever is the lesser, except that, if only accumulated leave is used, it may be used beyond nine (9) months (274 calendar days) until exhausted or until the disability ceases, whichever occurs sooner. In no case, however, will the aggregate of nine (9) months (274 calendar days) extend beyond three years from the date the injury occurred. If no leave is available under this Section, the provisions of Section 12 may apply. For temporary employees, accumulated leave and injury leave without pay shall be available for up to an aggregate of nine (9) months (274 calendar days), for the duration of the disability or for the scheduled duration of the temporary employment, whichever is the least. In no case, however, will the aggregate of nine (9) months (274 calendar days) extend beyond three years from the date the injury occurred. The employee election to use or not use accumulated leave under this Section cannot be changed more than once.

Work Related Disability. Employees on work-related disability may be required to be examined by a physician, at the request of and paid for by the Company, to substantiate such disability. Failure of employees to make themselves available for such examination, or failure to report for duty immediately after an examination which determines that an employee is fit for duty, may result in discipline up to and including termination. Employees on workers' compensation who are not fit for regular duty but are fit for light duty must report for such duty in any position or department in which the Company offers it in the same commuting area, or, for operators, at the domicile closest to their home address, without loss of seniority. If work is not available for operators at the domicile closest to their home address, operators may choose to work at another location where light duty work is available, if agreed by the Company and the Union. Failure to report for light duty will result in termination. If more than one light duty job is available, seniority will prevail. There will be no light duty for maintenance employees. Employees returning to duty status after leave of 30 days or longer may be required to pass a physical examination and drug test at Company expense.

Work Related Disability. Section 19.1 WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAM When an employee is injured on the job, or has an exposure to any potentially contagious, infectious, or debilitating disease, he or she will report the injury or exposure to his or her immediate supervisor as soon as possible following the injury or exposure, but no later than the end of the work period. Immediate medical attention is required for all claims of a work related injury. Following the injury, the employee must be evaluated by Beavercreek Township Fire Department’s Paramedics or EMT’s. Upon completion of this evaluation, the employee will be transported to Miami Valley Hospital (MVH). If the employee denies this form of treatment, the employee’s supervisor will transport the injured employee to either the employer’s occupational healthcare provider or MVH, depending upon the time of day and severity of the injury. The injured employee will not be permitted to return to safety sensitive duties until the Human Resource Manager or a supervisor has communicated the results of all drug/alcohol tests to the employee. These results are usually received within 24-72 hours. The employee will be placed on paid administrative leave during this time. The injured employee must communicate with their supervisor and the Human Resource Manager regarding any ongoing treatment and/or restrictions that they receive. In the event that the employee is released to transitional work duties, the employee must report to work immediately following the release. If this release occurs on a weekend, the employee must report for transitional work the following Monday. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action. Upon release by the treating physician the injured employee must contact Human Resources in order to schedule a return to work exam with the employer’s occupational healthcare provider. The injured worker will not be permitted to return to work until the employer’s occupational healthcare provider has cleared the employee to return to full duty. The employee will be placed on paid administrative leave unless the claim is reasonably disputed by the employer, in which case the employee will be placed on sick leave. All sick leave used will be reimbursed to the employee if the claim is approved by the BWC, Industrial Commission or other terminal level that hears the case. The supervisor will complete a preliminary investigation of the injury and submit the specifics thereof to the Department Head or Human Resources wit...
