42 Yes Does your municipality have a transitional duty program (light duty) to encourage employees out on workers compensation to return to work?

43 No The State Workers Compensation Law provides that, when an employee receives a work-related injury producing temporary disability, the employee is entitled to wage-continuation equal to 70% of the employee's weekly wages, subject to a maximum compensation as determined by the Commissioner of Labor. Does your municipality limit benefits for work-related injuries to the above statutory benefit? The answer to this question can be "prospective" if such a provision was imposed by an arbitrator in binding arbitration but the municipality is seeking to eliminate such a contractual obligation through collective bargaining.

44 Yes The weekly benefit rate provided under the State Temporary Disability Law for a non-work-related injury is calculated on the basis of claimant's average weekly wage. Each claimant is paid 2/3 of their average weekly wage up to the maximum amount payable, which is $584 for disabilities beginning on or after 1/1/13. Does your municipality refrain from supplementing the Temporary Disability benefit? The answer to this question can be "prospective" if such a provision was imposed by an arbitrator in binding arbitration but the municipality is seeking to eliminate such a contractual obligation through collective bargaining.

45 Yes Has your municipality adopted an ordinance, resolution, regulation or policy eliminating longevity awards, bonuses or payments for non-union employees?

46 Yes For any employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, has your municipality eliminated longevity awards, bonuses or payments for employees hired on or after a specified date, and refrained from increasing longevity awards, bonuses or payments for employees hired before a specified date? The answer to this question can be "prospective" if such provisions were imposed by an arbitrator in binding arbitration but the municipality is seeking to eliminate such a contractual obligation through collective bargaining.
