Common use of Work Injuries Clause in Contracts

Work Injuries. Employees injured on the job, provided injury is reported to the person’s Employer and requires medical attention, are to be paid for time spent on the first visit to the doctor and, if the doctor determines and certifies that the Employee is unable to return to work because of injury, they shall be paid the balance of the shift during which the injury occurred. This provision applies to medical attention received during regular working hours only. Operating Engineers who suffer an industrial injury while dispatched shall have their position on the out-of-work list frozen for the period that they remain unable to perform work as an operating engineer due to their industrial injury. This “freezing” of an applicant’s hours does not apply to Health & Welfare or Pension eligibility. The applicant must register on the Referral List (commonly known as the Out-of- work List); and to remain on the Referral List, an applicant must renew their registration not later than ninety (90) days from the date of their last registration or re-registration.
