Common use of Worker’s Disability Compensation Clause in Contracts

Worker’s Disability Compensation. A secretary who is absent because of an injury or disease under the Worker’s Disability Compensation Act shall make a written election of one of the following options at the time she becomes eligible for workers’ compensation benefits: 1. The secretary may utilize her accumulated sick leave for each day absent provided that she reimburses the District for the amount of workers’ compensation benefits received for the corresponding pay period. Secretaries shall only be eligible to access this alternative if they have sufficient sick leave accumulation. 2. The secretary may elect to receive workers’ compensation benefits only. 3. The secretary may elect to receive the difference between her regular compensation and the amount received as workers’ compensation benefits. Such difference in compensation shall be computed on a percentage basis, and this percentage shall be deducted from the secretary’s sick leave accumulation. (For example: if workers’ compensation pays sixty percent (60%) of full pay, sick leave will only pay forty percent (40%) and the sick leave accumulation shall be charged .4 of a day for each day so used.) Secretaries shall only be eligible to access this alternative if they have sufficient sick leave accumulation. Injuries or diseases compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Act shall be reported immediately to the Human Resources Office so instruction may be given on how to proceed relative to billing of medical services, reporting, etc. A secretary who is absent because of an injury or disability shall not return to work without first presenting notification from a physician that the secretary may return to work and is capable of performing the essential functions of her assignment, with or without reasonable accommodation. The Board may require a second medical opinion, at its expense.
