The Division shall reimburse out of pocket expenses incurred by the teacher as a result of an on-the job injury to a maximum of one thousand dollars ($1000) where that teacher has certain expenses beyond the maximum coverage provided for in the Extended Health Plan or incurs certain expenses related to medical items not covered by the Plan or where such expenses are not covered by another party or plan. In accordance with administrative guidelines the Division shall reimburse teachers for the above-mentioned expenses (e.g. drug costs, physiotherapy, etc.) for a period of up to twelve (12) months following the injury or accident.
An “on-the-job-injury” means a physical disability resulting from a single accident or injury occurring in the course of performing duties arising out of employment under contract with the Division and is an injury that is not covered by Worker’s Compensation Board benefits.
This agreement is made subject to the provisions of the Public Schools Act, the Labour Relations Act, and the Education Administration Act, insofar as the same may apply to the parties hereto, and the individual statutory teachers’ contract with the Division.
Signed, sealed, and delivered in the Town of Gladstone in the Province of Manitoba this 19th day of February, AD 2016.
