Body
Dear Sir:
Lydia Williams is a Laborer Foreman at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. On February 22, 2021, the employee reported that she fell on ice while exiting her vehicle at the Stickney parking lot. She sought treatment at the industrial clinic on February 22, 2021, where she was diagnosed with lumbar and right shoulder contusions. She was treated conservatively with medications and physical therapy.
The employee was not paid any lost time benefits because of her injury.
Subject to the approval of the IWCC, this Pro-Se case can be settled for $17,434.60, representing approximately 4% 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 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:BLW:RG
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for March 16, 2023
