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

46 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.

47 N/A 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 $595 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. Only answer "N/A" if your municipality does not participate in the State Temporary Disability Program.

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

49 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.
