Victim's representative means a person who represents or stands in the place of another person, including but not limited to, an agent, attorney, guardian, conservator, executor, heir, or parent of a minor. If you are required to attend a criminal proceeding either as a witness or as a crime victim (or a close family member of a crime victim), you must notify your manager as soon as possible and at least one day before taking leave to make scheduling arrangements. The Company reserves the right to require employees to provide proof of the need to attend the criminal proceedings to the extent authorized by law. The Company will not retaliate against employees who request or take leave in accordance with this policy. Disability Benefits If you are unable to work for more than seven consecutive days due to a non-work-related illness or injury, or pregnancy-related disability, you may be eligible for disability benefits. Disability benefits provide up to 26 weeks of partial wage replacement benefits during any 52-consecutive-week period. Benefits are payable beginning on the eighth consecutive day of disability. The cost of your disability insurance coverage is shared between you and the Company through payroll deductions. If you have been disabled for more than seven days, the Company will provide you with a Form DB-271S, Statement of Rights , within five days of learning that you are disabled. The Statement of Rights provides information on how to file a claim for benefits. You must file a claim within the first 30 days of your disability or all or part of your claim may be rejected. You must be under the care of a physician, chiropractor, podiatrist, psychologist, dentist, or certified nurse midwife to qualify for disability benefits. Disability benefits are a wage replacement benefit, not a protected leave benefit. If you are temporarily disabled, you may be eligible for job-protected leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act or other state or local law. To learn more about the New York Disability Benefits law, including eligibility requirements and benefits, or to obtain a claim form (Form DB-450), contact the New York State Workers' Compensation Board (www.wcb.ny.gov).
