Benefit Change in 2007

In 2007, the benefits provided by Article 13  increased the amount of time an employee can receive their health benefits as an active employee from 12 to 24 months in those cases where the absence is caused by a workplace assault.  The Plain Language Brochure has not yet been updated to reflect this most recent addition.

For more information see:

• 2007-2011 PEF Implementation Memo

• "Plain Language" Brochure on Workers' Compensation Benefits

• Attendance Rules (General)

• Contract Pages (Three Parts: A, B, and C)

Note: The contractual benefits for Workers' Compensation absences are based on the date of injury.  The links provided above reflect the benefits for injuries occurring after July 1, 1993. For assistance with injuries prior to that date, contract your PEF Field Representative or the PEF Health and Safety Department for Assistance.
