To be successful, the City safety program must be the shared responsibility <br /> of all employees. Employees are required to: <br /> 1. Fully comply with the Safety Program as administered by the Safety <br /> Committee. <br /> 2. Immediately report to their supervisor all unsafe equipment, practices <br /> or procedures that pose a threat to the safety of employees or others. <br /> 3. Cooperate with and assist in the investigation of accidents to identify <br /> the causes and to prevent recurrence. <br /> 4. Be active in department and City safety programs. <br /> 5. Observe and promote safe work habits. <br /> 6. Report injuries to supervisor immediately. <br /> Employees who do not follow and abide by the City's safety policies will be <br /> subject to discipline up to and including termination. <br /> 12. WORKER'S COMPENSATION <br /> An employee who is temporarily unable to work due to an injury or illness <br /> sustained in the performance of the employee's work with the City may be <br /> eligible for Workers' Compensation subject to the provisions of the State of <br /> Minnesota Workers' Compensation Law. <br /> An employee who becomes eligible to receive Workers' Compensation will <br /> retain the total amount of the Workers' Compensation check and may <br /> receive the difference between their Workers' Compensation payment and <br /> the employee's regular gross salary through the use of accrued sick leave. If <br /> accrued sick leave is not available, vacation or compensatory time may be <br /> used. The total of the Workers' Compensation check and the accrued leave <br /> compensation may not exceed the employee's normal gross pay. <br /> 31 <br />
