WORKERS’COMPENSATION Sample Clauses
The Workers’ Compensation clause establishes the requirement for employers to provide insurance coverage for employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. Typically, this clause obligates the employer to maintain workers’ compensation insurance in accordance with applicable laws and to furnish proof of such coverage upon request. By including this provision, the clause ensures that employees are protected against financial hardship resulting from workplace accidents, while also limiting the employer’s liability by channeling claims through the insurance system.

WORKERS’COMPENSATION. In the event of a job related injury or illness, the EMPLOYEE will receive any temporary disability, rehabilitation, and permanent disability benefits that are required under State law. In addition to this amount, the EMPLOYEE shall receive an appropriate amount of accrued sick leave pay to provide for the difference between the established Workers' Compensation amount and the EMPLOYEE'S regular gross pay. The EMPLOYEE may also use accrued vacation or compensatory time to provide for this difference, once the EMPLOYEE'S accrued sick leave balance is exhausted. In no event shall the combination of Workers' Compensation benefits exceed the regular gross pay for the affected EMPLOYEE. It shall be the responsibility of the EMPLOYEE to notify the Finance Department if the EMPLOYEE chooses to use accrued vacation or compensatory time balances for Workers' Compensation purposes. When an EMPLOYEE is away from the job because of a job related injury or illness that exceeds one year following the exhaustion of accrued vacation, sick leave, and compensatory time or following the election not to use accrued vacation or compensatory time, the City shall not be required, following the one year period, to maintain contributions toward group insurance. An EMPLOYEE who is away from the job because of job related injury or illness shall have the right to return to his or her position until he or she is permanent and stationary and can no longer perform the essential functions of the job or until the EMPLOYEE is declared by the City's doctor to be fit for return to work and the EMPLOYEE, for whatever reasons, does not return to work.
WORKERS’COMPENSATION. All eligible employees shall be covered under the provisions of a statutorily required industrial accident insurance plan for industrial accidents and diseases (occupational injuries or illness that occur on the job).

A. The employee may elect to receive only workers' compensation payments and no sick leave will be deducted during the period covered by the workers’ compensation payments; or
B. The employee may voluntarily turn in their first and all subsequent workers' compensation payments and will, in turn, receive their regular paychecks and benefits.

2. After the expiration of twelve (12) months, only that portion of sick leave needed to make-up for the difference between the workers’ compensation payments and the employee’s regular paycheck will be permanently deducted from the employee's accruals when the employee turns their workers’ compensation payments over to the City. The City will restore the sick leave balance, temporarily deducted, after receipt of the employee’s workers’ compensation check.
C. At such time that the employee no longer has accrued sick leave and/or vacation time, the employee shall receive only those benefits provided by SAIF or Workers’ Compensation.
