WorkSafeBC Compensation Sample Clauses
The WorkSafeBC Compensation clause establishes the employer's responsibility to comply with workers' compensation requirements as set by WorkSafeBC. This typically means the employer must register with WorkSafeBC, pay necessary premiums, and ensure that all employees are covered for workplace injuries or illnesses. By including this clause, the contract ensures that employees are protected in case of work-related accidents and that the employer fulfills legal obligations, thereby reducing liability and promoting workplace safety.
WorkSafeBC Compensation. Any Regular Employee who has completed six (6) months of continuous service and whose claim for WorkSafeBC temporary disability benefits is accepted by WorkSafeBC, shall assign all monies received from WorkSafeBC to the Employer and the Employer shall pay the employee's approximate net salary. In the event WorkSafeBC rejects a claim, or during a period of WorkSafeBC delay prior to accepting one, the Employer will pay full regular salary to the employee for as long a period as the employee has sick leave, gratuity, vacation and overtime credits. Where WorkSafeBC subsequently accepts an employee's claim, the employee's pay shall be recalculated retroactive for the period of the claim.
WorkSafeBC Compensation. (a) A Regular Full-Time Employee or Temporary Full-Time Employee, who has completed six (6) months of continuous service, whose claim for WorkSafeBC temporary disability benefits is accepted by WorkSafeBC, shall assign the employee's WorkSafeBC cheque to the Board and the Board shall pay the employee's approximate net salary. If WorkSafeBC disallows an employee's claim, or during a period of WorkSafeBC delay prior to accepting the claim, the Board will pay an advance equal to the employee’s approximate net salary to the employee until the employee's sick leave, vacation and overtime credits are exhausted. Where WorkSafeBC subsequently accepts an employee's claim, the employee's pay shall be recalculated retroactive for the period of the claim.
WorkSafeBC Compensation. (a) Where a Regular Full-Time Employee is absent from work due to an injury or illness arising out of and in the course of employment, and is found by WorkSafeBC to be entitled to compensation under the Worker’s Compensation Act, the Employer shall pay the Employee their normal net take-home pay in the following circumstances:
(i) the Employee is entitled to receive temporary wage loss disability payments from WorkSafeBC; and
(ii) the temporary wage loss disability payments referred to in (i) above are remitted directly to the Employer by WorkSafeBC.
(b) For the purpose of this Article, the term “normal net take-home pay” shall mean the normal amount of the Regular Full-Time Employee’s gross basic pay for their regular position, less the amount of the normal deductions required by law and/or by the operation of the Collective Agreement to be made from the Employee’s normal gross basic pay.
(c) The Employer shall deduct, and remit to the appropriate authorities on behalf of the Employee, the amount of the normal deductions required by law and/or by the operation of the Collective Agreement only with respect to the amount by which the Employee’s normal gross basic pay exceeds the temporary wage loss disability payments remitted to the Employer by WorkSafeBC under sub-paragraph (a)(ii) above.
(d) During the period of time that WorkSafeBC is adjudicating the Regular Full-Time Employee’s application for temporary wage loss disability payments, the Employee shall be entitled to use their accumulated unused sick leave bank and, after the depletion of that bank, any other available leave banks.
(e) If WorkSafeBC accepts the Employee’s application, any temporary wage loss disability payments shall be remitted to the Employer (either directly by WorkSafeBC, or by the Employee if the payment had been made by WorkSafeBC directly to the Employee). Once the temporary wage loss disability payments are received, the Employer shall re-establish the Employee’s sick leave bank and/or other available leave banks by the amount which had been utilized by the Employee under (d) above pending the decision by WorkSafeBC.
(f) If WorkSafeBC does not accept the Employee’s application for temporary wage loss disability payments, the Employee’s sick leave bank and/or other available leave banks, which had been utilized by the Employee under (d) above pending the decision by WorkSafeBC, will remain reduced by the amount of such usage.
WorkSafeBC Compensation. An employee who is injured on the job during working hours and is required to leave for treatment or is sent home for such injury shall receive payments for the remainder of their shift without deduction from short-term disability leave. An employee is responsible for obtaining and completing all forms immediately following the injury.
