Work-related Injury/Disability An employee who receives an Employer Contribution and who is off the State payroll due to a work-related injury or a work-related disability remains eligible for an Employer Contribution as long as such an employee receives workers' compensation payments. If such employee ceases to receive workers' compensation payments for the injury or disability and is granted a medical leave under Article 10, he/she shall be eligible for an Employer contribution during that leave.
Definition of Total Disability Total disability means that the employee is unable, because of sickness or accident, to perform the duties of their regular occupation. This definition applies for the first twenty-four (24) months of payments. After this time, the inability to perform an occupation for which the employee is reasonably fitted by training, education or experience will constitute total disability. It is not required that an employee be confined to home, but they must be under the regular care of a physician.
Disability If, as a result of Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Employee shall have been absent from his duties hereunder on a full-time basis for one hundred eighty (180) calendar days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may terminate Employee's employment hereunder. During any period that Employee fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Employee shall continue to receive his accrued and unpaid Base Salary and accrued and unpaid target bonus, prorated for the number of days actually employed in the then current calendar year, until Employee's employment is terminated due to disability in accordance with this Subparagraph (c) or until Employee terminates his employment in accordance with Subparagraph (e)(ii) or (f), if earlier. All unvested stock options and stock-based grants shall immediately vest and become exercisable or nonforfeitable, and Employee shall have such period of time to exercise the stock options as is provided in the Stock Option Plan and agreements with Employee pursuant thereto. For a period of eighteen (18) months following the Date of Termination and subject to the Employee's continued copayment of premium amounts, the Employee, Employee's spouse and dependents shall continue to participate in the Company's health insurance plan upon the same terms and conditions in effect on the Date of Termination, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the continuation of health benefits under this Subparagraph shall reduce and count against Employee's rights under COBRA. In addition to the foregoing, any payments to which Employee may be entitled under any employee benefit plan shall also be paid in accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement. Such payments, in the aggregate, shall fully discharge the Company's obligations hereunder.
