Maine Municipal Tax Collectors & Treasurers Association

If you have an employee out of work, whether they are on workers comp or using income protection, do you also allow them to use any sick time on the books? If you have a policy on this, I would appreciate receiving a copy.

If you have an employee out on workers comp, do you pay them the difference between what they receive from the insurance company and what they normally would make?

Also, has anyone ever heard of creating a catastrophic leave bank? Meaning if someone is out of work and they don't have any sick time, that other employees could give that person some of his/her vacation, comp time or personal time.

Thanks.
