Body
Dear Sir:
Anthony Satalic is a Structural Ironworker at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. On February 2, 2016, he sustained an injury to his left abdomen. Mr. Satalic was initially seen by an Industrial clinic doctor on February 2, 2016. He was disabled from work initially on February 22, 2016. It was determined that he required a procedure which was performed on February 22, 2016. Following this procedure the employee was able to return to work on May 2, 2016.
Mr. Satalic was paid a total of $11,657.74, which represents 10 weeks of lost time benefits.
Mr. Satalic filed an Application of Adjustment of Claim with the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC) through his counsel. Subject to the approval of the IWCC, this case can now be settled for $15,104.40, representing 4.0% loss of use of person as a whole. This settlement will close out future lost time benefits, as well as any future medical benefits associated with this injury.
The Director of Human Resources believes this settlement is in the best interest of the District and requests payment of that sum be approved and she be authorized to execute such documents as may be necessary to effect the settlement.
Requested, Beverly K. Sanders, BKS:RAJ:RG
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Judiciary
