Body
Dear Sir:
Jason Mayans is a Sheet Metal Worker at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. On April 26, 2018, he strained his abdomen while changing thirty-five-pound air filters. The employee was initially seen at the industrial medical clinic on April 26, 2018. The employee was treated with medications and placed on restricted duty. Mr. Mayans underwent hernia repair on June 2, 2018 and was disabled from work effective June 4, 2018. He was able to return to work on July 16, 2018.
Mr. Mayans was paid a total of six weeks of lost time benefits totaling $6,951.32.
Subject to the approval of the IWCC, this Pro-Se case can be settled for $17,000.00, representing approximately 4.3 % loss of use of the person as a whole. This settlement will close out any future lost time benefits as well as any future medical benefits associated with these injuries.
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, Director of Human Resources, BKS:RAJ:RG
