Body
Dear Sir:
Thomas Trend was a Machinist at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. On June 9, 2017, he sustained an injury to his right groin. He was initially seen by the industrial clinic physician on June 9, 2017. It was determined that the employee required surgery which he underwent on July 11, 2017. He was also disabled from work at this time. He returned to work on August 21, 2017. Mr. Trend retired from the District May 1, 2018.
Mr. Trend was paid a total of $7,159.27 in lost time benefits which represents a total of 5.8 weeks of lost time benefits.
Subject to the approval of the IWCC, this Pro-Se case can be settled for $16,000.00 representing approximately 4.128% 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
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Judiciary
