Employees will continue to receive the full amount of the following allowances while absent due to illness or injury:

Board & Lodging Allowance (when employees would normally be entitled)	Master Agreements

Adds-to-Pay Not Paid when STIIP Benefits are Paid

Adds-to-pay where the employee's presence on the job is the criterion for receiving the premium pay will not be paid during absence due to illness or injury. These adds-to-pay include:
