19 <br />Amount of the Benefit <br /> <br />The STD benefit will be in an amount up to 66.7% of the employee’s gross regular rate of pay at the <br />time of the disabling incident, up to the maximum benefit amount stated in the STD policy. <br /> <br />Status of City Benefits <br /> <br />An employee receiving STD benefits shall not accrue PTO or receive holiday pay. Employees may <br />supplement STD benefits with paid leave such as, but not limited to, PTO, deferred sick leave or <br />accrued compensatory leave in order to offset the difference between the employee’s regular <br />wages/salary and the STD benefit payments. In no event shall the employee earn more than their <br />normal wages by combining STD benefits, deferred sick leave hours and PTO. The City will continue <br />to pay its share of health insurance premiums or Opt-Out for an employee receiving STD benefits. <br /> <br />Return to Work <br /> <br />Employees must coordinate their return to work with their supervisor prior to the end of the STD <br />period. An employee returning to work is expected to provide a doctor’s note releasing them to work. <br />This note must also provide any activity restrictions and duration of these restrictions. The City <br />reserves the right to not allow the employee to return to work if the City cannot accommodate the <br />restrictions. <br />
