(A) All employees are covered by the State Industrial Probationary Insurance Program (worker’s compensation). This type of insurance covers employees in case of on-the-job injuries or job-related illnesses. For qualifying cases, State Industrial Probationary Insurance will pay the employee for workdays lost for any disability resulting from job-related injuries or illnesses. All job-related accidents should be reported immediately to the supervisor.
(B) An eligible employee who is unable to work due to a work-related injury may receive worker’s compensation benefits in an amount determined by the applicable laws in effect at the time of the incident.
(C) The village may require an examination, at its expense, performed by a physician of its choice, to determine when the employee can return to work and if the employee will be capable of performing the duties and responsibilities of the position.
