Common use of Worker Compensation Clause in Contracts

Worker Compensation. When a claim is accepted by Workers’ Compensation Insurance, an employee will receive a set portion of wages as determined by law. There are two (2) options available to an employee: (a) An employee may select to receive the difference between the Workers’ Compensation payment and the regular salary as a school district employee. In the event the employee chooses this option, one-third (1/3) of a sick leave day will be charged for each day paid. (b) An employee may elect not to receive the differential between the Workers’ Compensation payment and the regular salary in which instance no absence will be charged to sick leave. Upon notice from the Workers’ Compensation Insurance carrier of the benefits to be paid, the employee shall advise the business Office which option they have chosen. The differential between Worker’s compensation and the regular salary shall cease when the employee’s cumulative sick leave is exhausted. Based upon the option chosen, the Business Office shall make the appropriate adjustments in district payments and sick leave records.
