Common use of Worker’s Disability Compensation Clause in Contracts

Worker’s Disability Compensation. In case of an accident to a member of the Bargaining Unit during the performance of his/her regular duty resulting in temporary disability to the extent that he/she is unable to resume his/her regular duties, he/she shall be entitled to his/her regular compensation until sufficiently recovered to perform his/her regular duties for a period of ninety (90) work days or longer at the discretion of the City Manager. Accumulated sick leave shall not be considered in the computation of leave on account of injuries. Employees shall not be entitled to regular compensation during absence from duty on account of injuries if said injury was sustained while not on regular duty. Such absence from duty shall be considered as sick leave and shall be governed by the rules pertaining to sick leave. If any employee receives workers' disability payments during any absence from work, any other payments which may be paid to him/her under the provision of this Chapter shall be reduced to the extent of such workers' disability payments.
