Workers’ Compensation Leave of Absence. Employees shall be entitled to an indefinite leave for injuries that are covered by workers’ compensation and which occur during the course of employment with the Employer. Under State of Michigan workers’ compensation law, the employee is not compensated for time lost until the eighth (8th) consecutive day of disability, unless the employee is continuously disabled and off of work for fourteen (14) consecutive days, then workers’ compensation will pay retroactive to the first day. Employees can use banked time off to cover the first seven (7) days. If the employee is continuously disabled in excess of fourteen (14) consecutive days, where workers’ compensation would pay for the entire disability, the employee will be allowed to reimburse the institution for the first seven (7) days of pay received through banked time off and the hours will be reinstated to their time off accruals. The employee must reimburse the Medical Center before the banked time is returned to their bank.
