A. The City will continue the insurance plan covering long‑term disability for all full‑time unit employees. Employees are eligible for coverage after completing one (1) year of full‑time continuous City employment. After an established three (3) months qualifying period, the plan will provide up to 66 2/3% of the employee’s basic monthly salary at the time disability occurs and continue up to age 80. This benefit will be coordinated with leave payments, industrial insurance payments, unemployment compensation, social security benefits and disability provisions of the retirement plan. The City will notify the union of employees obtaining LTD status.
B. Total disability is defined as follows:
During the first 30 months of benefit payments, an employee being unable, as a result of illness or injury, to perform any and every duty pertaining to an employee’s current position. Thereafter, the term “total disability” shall mean an employee’s being unable to perform work in any type of occupation that he/she may be educated for, trained for, or experienced in and could be reasonably expected to perform.
