Injury Pay

INJURY PAY

The following information only pertains to City of Milwaukee employees.  If you are not a City of Milwaukee employee, please contact your employer's human resources department directly; do not call the following phone number.

If you sustain an injury (as a City of Milwaukee employee) while performing your normal duties and if, as a result, you are totally or partially disabled, 70-80% of salary (tax-free) will be paid to you for a period not to exceed 250 workdays. It must be understood that “injury pay” applies only where the disability is temporary, and that it is granted in lieu of Worker’s Compensation. Periodic medical certificates attesting to your condition will be required. The City may require an independent medical examination to assure fitness to work. If the disability extends beyond one year, you may then have the option of accepting sick leave benefits -- to the extent to which you have accrued them -- or Worker’s Compensation to cover the remaining period. Call the Worker's Compensation Section 286-2020 for more information.
