Qualification for payment. 30.4.1 The Company is responsible for the payment of accident pay, but this liability may be discharged by another person on the Company’s behalf. However, if an Injury does not attract an entitlement to compensation under the Act there is no entitlement to accident pay under this Agreement. 30.4.2 As long as the Employee remains in the employment of the Company, the Employee is entitled to accident pay while the Employee receives weekly payments, provided that: 30.4.2.1 if an Employee on partial incapacity cannot obtain suitable employment from the Company, but alternative employment is available with another employer, then the relevant amount of accident pay will still be paid; 30.4.2.2 unless an Employee’s employment is terminated due to the Employee’s serious or wilful misconduct or arises from a declaration of liquidation of the Company, (in which case the Employee’s entitlement will be determined by the appropriate legislation), accident pay continues to apply after an Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company. 30.4.3 For accident pay to continue after the termination of an Employee’s employment by the Company, the Employee will, if required, provide evidence of continuing weekly payments. 30.4.4 An Employee on engagement may be required to declare all workers’ compensation claims made in the previous 5 years. In the event of false or inaccurate information being deliberately and knowingly declared, the Company may require the Employee to forfeit her or his entitlement to accident pay under this award.
