At such time as coverage becomes required, the Employer agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Welfare Fund’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as it may be amended from time to time.

29.2 is then in effect.

30.2 Sick leave pay to the extent it has been earned shall begin on the first (1st) day of illness or accident, and shall continue for each regular scheduled work day which said Employee misses because of said disability until the Employee’s accumulated sick leave benefits have been exhausted.

30.3 Sick leave benefits will be paid only with respect of a work day on which the Employee would have otherwise worked, and will not apply to any Employee’s scheduled day off, holidays, vacations or any other day on which the Employee would not have worked.

30.4 Sick leave pay, to the extent it has been earned, will be integrated with payments under any Federal or State Workers’ Compensation program.

30.5 A doctor’s certificate or other authoritative verification of illness or accident may be required by the Employer, and if so, must be presented by the Employee prior to return to work if requested by the Employer.
