Body
Dear Sir:
John Quinn is a Treatment Plant Operator I at the Lemont Water Reclamation Plant. On February 5, 2014, he sustained an injury to his left arm. He was initially seen at the Industrial clinic on February 5, 2014. The employee was initially disabled from work effective February 6, 2014. Mr. Quinn’s treatment consisted of a course of physical therapy, medications and a home exercise plan. He was able to return to work effective February 24, 2014.
Mr. Quinn was paid a total of $2,122.20, which represents 2.4 weeks of lost time benefits.
Subject to the approval of the IWCC, this Pro-Se case can now be settled for $27,062.25, representing approximately 7.5% loss 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, Director of Human Resources, BKS:RAJ:RG
