Reporting and Payments. Employees shall report all injuries and illnesses arising directly from County employment to their supervisor as soon as possible after the accident's occurrence using the forms required by the Genesee County Risk Management Office. If the injury is deemed compensable, the employee will receive the State-mandated payment in accordance with statutory compensation levels. In addition, any employee with 520 straight-time hours of service sustaining an occupational illness or injury shall be entitled to an amount which, when combined with the statutorily required compensation, will give the employee a total combined benefit of eighty percent (80%) of their then current gross regular straight-time pay plus continuation of hospital/medical insurance, optical insurance, dental insurance and life insurance benefits. Such supplemental payments will be paid in periodic installments at intervals of not more than thirty (30) calendar days beginning with the initial payment received by the employee under Worker's Disability compensation provisions and ending no later than twenty-four (24) months thereafter. The employee shall be entitled to a maximum of twenty-four (24) months of supplemental payments for the same disability, regardless of any intervening periods of employment. In addition, the rate of pay used to determine the supplemental rate of pay shall be the rate used by the State in determining the Worker's compensation payment. In the event the employee's claim, disputed or undisputed, is resolved by informal compromise settlement, grievance or arbitration settlement, redemption or any other term used to describe such payment, said payment shall be considered to include any accrued and future supplemental benefits. In addition, employees will not be entitled to receive both the County supplemental payment and a supplemental payment from the County's auto insurance carrier, if applicable. Accordingly, employees will be given the option of claiming one (1) of the above two (2) supplemental payments, but under no condition will they be eligible to receive both.
