Common use of Service Connected Disability Clause in Contracts

Service Connected Disability. Section 1. In the event any full-time regular employee shall become disabled by sickness or injury while actually working for the City of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and such injury or illness resulted from the discharge of his duties for which the individual would be entitled to receive temporary total disability benefits from the Workers’ Compensation Bureau, the employee shall receive his full regular pay less any compensation for weekly benefits received from the State of Ohio, Bureau Workers’ Compensation, to a maximum of one hundred twenty (120) calendar days per injury. Section 2. To apply for benefits under Section 1 hereof, written application shall be made to the Service Director, accompanied by a certificate from a registered physician stating that such employee is unable to work and that such disability is the result of or is concerned with the duties of such employee. It shall be the duty of the Director to approve or reject the application, and in doing so, he may require examination by a registered physician of his selection. Before any employee makes application to the Service Director for benefits under this article, he shall first make application for Workers’ Compensation Benefits from any compensation fund to which the City contributes. He shall also complete the injury on duty and reimbursement form provided by the City. No employee shall be entitled to City-paid injury on duty benefits until this requirement has been completed. Section 3. In the event the injury or disability is disallowed by the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation or the Industrial Commission of Ohio, the employee shall be charged with all time lost from work against his accumulated sick leave time or vacation time, unless such decision is overturned on appeal by a court of competent jurisdiction. If the employee does not have accumulated sick leave time or vacation time to cover either all or part of the time off up to and including the date the claim is disallowed, then any monies paid to the employee by the City under this article shall be repaid by the employee to the City at a rate to be determined between the parties.
