    Change in Sick Leave Injury Benefits for State of New Jersey ...

    As most State of New Jersey employees already know, Sick Leave Injury (SLI) benefits will be eliminated as of July 1, 2011. This means that employees injured on the job will no longer receive SLI if they are out of work for a work related injury. They will instead receive temporary disability benefits under the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation law.   I recently spoke at a meeting of CWA Union Local 1040 members. One person attending the meeting stated that her employees did not understand how they would be affected by the elimination of SLI. They were under the impression that this change would not affect the average State employee injured on the job. This attendee asked me to make it simple for her and tell her the basic differences between workers compensation temporary disability (WC) and SLI. The basic differences are as follows:

    Unions win staff pay cut victory

    Unions have welcomed an employment tribunal decision to overturn a controversial move by an NHS Trust to cut the pay of staff who took time off sick.

    Central Manchester University Hospitals Foundation Trust was challenged over a new rule that any employee off sick on four or more occasions in a year or for 18 or more days in total, would lose that year's incremental pay rise.

    Unions lodged tribunal cases on behalf of scores of staff who were not paid their incremental rise and have now heard that they have been successful.

    Paul Foley, regional head of health for Unison, said: "This is a victory for fairness. This decision means that other trusts will not be able to penalise health workers in a similar way. We hope this Manchester hospital trust now drops any further legal challenges, honours its obligations to pay incremental rises, and gets back to the day job of providing healthcare.

    "The nature of working in a hospital, surrounded by ill people, means you're more likely than in other jobs to become unwell. Many health jobs are also very physical - lifting and moving patients on an hourly basis. The stresses and strains can cause injuries that people need time off to recover from. Hospitals should be there to care for people when they are ill, the last thing they should want is people coming into work when they are not well enough."
