Common use of Absence Due to Injury on Job Clause in Contracts

Absence Due to Injury on Job. Whenever an employee is absent from employment and unable to perform duties as a result of personal injury sustained in the course of employment, said employee shall be entitled to use accumulated sick leave. In the event the employee acquires Industrial Insurance Benefits in the form of time-loss payments, the employee shall have the option of having sick leave benefits provided on a pro rata basis so that the combination of time loss payments and sick leave benefits will equal the employee's regular salary (under no combination of the above shall an employee be paid greater than his/her current salary amount), or said employee may choose to utilize full accumulated sick leave before accepting time loss payments.

Upon exhaustion of sick leave, said teacher shall be entitled to leave without pay (except for any Worker's Compensation Award) for the balance of the school year, and then shall be entitled to return to service by the immediate beginning of the following school year.
