ROBERT W. PRICKETT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIS WORKER'S
COMPENSATION PAYMENTS AND HIS NORMAL TAKE-HOME PAY,
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SEC. 2-52 OF CARMEL CITY CODE
WHEREAS, the City of Carmel purchases Worker's Compensation insurance to
compensate for work time lost due to workplace injuries; and
WHEREAS, Worker's Compensation insurance pays only 66-2/3% of an
employee's weekly gross wages; and
WHEREAS, Sec. 2-52 of Carmel City Code authorizes the Board of Public
Works and Safety to supplement an individual's Worker's Compensation payments to
permit the employee to receive his or her normal "take-home pay"; and
WHEREAS, Robert W. Prickett sustained a leg injury while working for the City,
and will be unable to work for 4-6 weeks following surgery on May 28, 2004.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Carmel Board of Public Works
and Safety as follows:
For that period during which employee Robert W. Pricker receives Worker's
Compensation payments for loss of wages due to surgery performed on May 28, 2004,
the City shall pay Mr. Prickett the difference between his weekly Worker's
Compensation payments and his normal weekly net pay (based on 37.5 hours of work at
his current hourly rate).
Supplemental payments shall be made on a bi-weekly basis, and shall cease when Mr.
Prickett's Worker's Compensation benefits for loss of wages cease.
The salary supplements paid by the City to Mr. Prickett shall not extend beyond July 9,
2004, unless an extension is approved by the Board of Public Works and Safety.
