If you take time off from work due to sickness

• * When applying for Injury and Sickness Allowance, a condition to receive the benefit is that you must be recuperating and unable to work. So as a general rule, please try to receive an examination from a doctor at least one day a month.

This benefit is paid when all four of the following conditions are met.

• You are recuperating under treatment for sickness or injury (recuperation at home is acceptable).
• You are unable to perform your previous job because you are recuperating from sickness or injury.
• You have taken at least three consecutive days off.
  • ** Payment of this benefit begins on the fourth consecutive day off.
  • ** The first three days are referred to as the waiting period, and no benefits are paid for those days.
• You are unable to receive salary or other income
  • ** Even if you are receiving a salary or other income, if the amount of such income is less than the Injury and Sickness Allowance then the Organization will pay the difference.
