Some facts about this legislation:
- An eligible employee is entitled to 100 percent of their normal (no overtime) weekly salary including annual or contractual pay raises.
- An eligible employee may be required to file for Workers’ Compensation benefits first. These benefits will be reimbursed to the employer paying the Heart and Lung Act benefits with the exception of concurrent employment wages.
- An eligible employee does not have to use any sick or annual leave to cover their absence once they have sustained a compensatable injury.
- An eligible employee’s Heart and Lung benefits may not be terminated without a due process hearing.
- Heart and Lung Act benefits are considered a “property right” under the U.S. Constitution.
