Duty Disability Leave. (a) A duty disability leave shall mean a leave required as a result of the Employee incurring a compensable illness or injury while in the employment of the Township covered by the Michigan Workmen's Compensation Act.
Duty Disability Leave. 26.1 In order to be eligible for duty disability leave, an employee shall immediately report any injury, however minor, to his or her immediate supervisor and take such first aid treatment as may be recommended, or waive such first aid in writing.
Duty Disability Leave. Any employee who is absent from work due to an injury on duty shall be granted a leave of absence. The Employer will mail the initial Duty Disability payment within ten (10) working days upon receipt of verified authorization from the approving authority. Contingent upon continued verified authorization, subsequent payment will be made twice a month. If duty disability is denied, and such denial is later reversed, the employee shall be paid up to date the amount the employee was eligible to receive, less any other disability payments received by the employee subject to the same terms and conditions identified in this paragraph. Employees who return from said leaves shall be reinstated to their former job classification, if there is a vacancy in said classification or if a position in said classification is then occupied by an employee with lower seniority. If the employee's former job classification is not available because the employee would have been laid off if the employee had not been on a leave of absence, the employee may exercise seniority rights in accordance with and subject to the layoff, recall and break-in-service provisions of this Agreement. An employee granted duty disability leave shall continue to receive full benefits for any period he/she is on said leave in accordance with current practice.
Duty Disability Leave. Any employee who has completed his probationary period and has been placed on the seniority list as a full-time regular employee and who suffers injury compensable under the Workers' Compensation Act; after the first week's compensation, shall be paid the difference' between his or her weekly base rate of pay at the date of injury, and any payment received under the pro- visions of the Act for a period of two (2) years. If the Workers' Com- pensation payment is reduced because of appeal or settlement, the amount owing from the Employer shall be reduced by the same per- centage. After two (2) years, if the employee is disabled, he shall receive disability pay equal to the difference between 6621o3f his base rate of pay and the amount he receives from Workers' Compensation for a period of four (4) years. At the end of this 6-year period, if the employee is still unable to return to work, he shall be placed on an unpaid medical leave. The employee shall not receive any benefits or accumulate any benefits while on the unpaid medical leave except as provided within this section. As long as the employee is eligible and receives Workers' Compen- 11 LEAVES OF ABSENCE - ARTICLE 8 (Page 3) satlon payment, the Township shall continue health insurance cover- age. After the above 6-year period, the life insurance coverage may be continued by the employee paying the premium; or the employee, at his/her option, may be covered by a $2,000 death benefit to be paid by the Township. This benefit shall continue as long as the employee is eligible and receives Workers' Compensation. If the employee's claim is redeemed or the employee takes a duty disability retirement, this will end all obligation of the Township to provide fringe benefits or payment to the employee in this section. Time taken off for this duty disability leave shall not be deducted from the employee's accumulated sick leave bank.

Any employee who has completed their probationary period and has been placed on the seniority list as a full-time regular employee and who suffers injury compensable under the Worker’s Compensation Act; shall receive payment due under the Worker’s Compensation Act directly from Worker’s Compensation provider. In addition, the Township shall pay the difference between his or her base rate of pay at the date of injury, less any required tax withholding, and the Worker’s Compensation payment directly to the employee for a period of 1 year. After the one year period, employee may supplement Worker’s Compensation payment with available PTO time. If the Worker’s Compensation payment is reduced because of appeal or settlement, the amount owing from the Employer shall be reduced by the same percentage. After this one year period, the only pay the employee will receive is from Worker’s Compensation. Time taken off for this duty disability leave shall not be deducted from the employee’s PTO. PTO accrual shall continue for a period of one (1) year and frozen until such time the employee returns from leave. Note: PTO hours placed in the employee’s bank each January will be pro-rated based on accrual rules for previous year. The employee shall receive health care and life insurance for a period of two years. During the time an employee is out on Duty Disability Leave he/she shall continue to pay any health care contribution that may be required of employees. After this two year period employee’s seniority will be terminated.
