1992 CREW CONSIST AGREEMENT
SIDE LETTERS

Side Letter #6
(Zone 200)

Dear Sir:

This refers to the provisions of Article III Reserve Boards that provide for the use of an employe's W-2 earnings for the year 1990 or 1991 in establishing the 70% or 85% rate to be used while assigned to the applicable reserve boards.

A question has been raised as to whether the use of W-2 earnings properly reflects the proper rate for employee who suffered on-duty injuries and lost time during 1990 or 1991 as the result of the on-duty injury. In reviewing this matter it was agreed:

(1) Employes who have lost time in 1990 or 1991 due to an on-duty injury will have their rate adjusted as follows:

(a) If the employe had three or more months of non-lost time service in either year, then those months will be used to develop an average monthly rate that will be used to determine the proper rate to be used for reserve board purposes.

(b) If the employe did not have three months of non-lost time service in either year, then the proper rate shall be determined by averaging the rates of the two working employee immediately above and the two working employee immediately below the employe injured on duty.

(2) It will be the responsibility of the employe injured on duty to provide necessary information concerninq lost time and non-lost time months.
