medically unfit to carry out functions of the position he/she occupies, then:

(ii) if a transfer is not available then the employee shall be provided
with disability leave.
d) In the event that the Workers’ Compensation Board deems a re-occurrence of an injury to be a continuation of an initial claim, and the recurrence occurs within sixty (60) calendar days of the expiry of the initial leave of absence, the employee shall only be entitled to those days which are unused from the initial three hundred and sixty (360) days leave of absence under section (b) above. If the recurrence occurs after sixty (60) calendar days following the expiry of the initial leave of absence, the employee shall be entitled to receive the leave of absence outlined in Section x.
e) If at the end of the disability leave the employee’s medical condition is
such that he/she is unable to fulfill the functions of his/her position, then the employee may be laid off.

event that the salary of an employee, at the time of a claim under the Workers’ Compensation Act, exceeds the maximum annual earning established by regulation, the Employer shall during injury on duty leave continue to pay the employee an amount equal to 80% (85% after 39 weeks) of net income on a bi-weekly basis on that portion of salary which is in excess of the maximum earnings recognized by the Workers’ Compensation Board. The calculation of net pay entitlement shall be made in the same manner as the calculation made by the Workers’ Compensation Board up to the maximum annual earnings.
h) During the period of injury on duty leave, increments, sick leave, vacation
leave, severance pay and retiring pay will continue to be accumulated and calculated on the same basis as if the employee had been at work.
i) Pending the initial decision of a Workers Compensation Claim, an
employee shall continue on payroll and shall be paid at the level which is equivalent to his/her entitlement under the Workers Compensation Act. When the claim is approved, the employee agrees to repay the amount equivalent to the amount paid by the Employer pending the approval of the claim. If the claim is not approved, the employee will be entitled to apply for sick leave.
j) An employee who is injured during working hours and is required to leave
for treatment or is sent home as a result of such injury, shall receive payment for the remainder of the day without deduction from sick leave, unless a doctor states the employee is fit for further work that day or shift.
k) The Employer agrees that the right to return to work provisions of Section
86 of the Workers’ Compensation Act shall prevail. x) Disability Leave:
Upon the expiry of injury on duty leave and/or sick leave, an employee who is eligible for Long Term Disability benefits shall be provided with disability leave without pay for the period requested up to a maximum of twelve (12) months.
11
An employee granted leave under this provision shall not be granted additional leave under any other leave provision.
xi) Deferred Salary Plan:
Employees shall be entitled to participate in a deferred salary plan for purposes of taking a Leave of Absence at some future time under such terms and conditions as may be approved by the Employer and is in compliance with Canada Revenue Agency rules respecting deferred salary plans. Group insurance benefits will continue to be paid 100% by the Employer during the leave.

The Retirement Pay Benefit is five (5) days pay for each years of continuous service with a school board in Prince Edward Island to a maximum of 150 days and is calculated as follows:
12
Authorized annual salary rate x 5 days for each years of continuous service working days/ year (260)
(To a maximum of 150 days)
Service Prior to June 30, 2007

working days/ year (260) time service

APPENDIX “I”
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND EXCLUDED SUPERVISORY AND CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES
MONTHLY TRAVEL ALLOWANCE GUIDELINES ______________________________________________
The School Board has the sole right to determine which employees are required, as a condition of employment to provide a motor vehicle for the purpose of carrying out employment functions. Such determination is subject to review once every twelve months. Determination of the requirement to provide a vehicle must take into consideration:
a) the nature of the function performed such that travel is a primary aspect in the performance of the employee’s duties; and
b) the necessity to have transportation available at all times; and
c) the degree of control which the employee can exercise in the determination of
when travel is required. Employees designated under these criteria are required to have their vehicle available for use on all working days. The School Board may also determine that the travel needs of a position can be more economically met through the provision of board leased or owned vehicles. Generally this will apply to employees who travel more than 30,000 kilometers a year. If an employee is required to provide a motor vehicle, the employee has the option to choose either:
a) the kilometer travel allowance as approved from time to time by Treasury Board, or
b) a monthly allowance of $300 plus one-half (½) of the kilometer rates established
by Treasury Board. Employees who choose the monthly travel allowance plus one-half the kilometer rates should be aware that Canada Customs and Revenue Agency has determined this method of reimbursement to be a taxable allowance. Canada Customs and Revenue Agency has an interpretation bulletin which outlines how to deal with this method of travel reimbursement.
