In the absence of such election, such unit member shall not receive sick leave payments during the period of absence for temporary disability due to the accident and sick leave credits shall not be reduced by reason of any workmen's compensation payments he or she may receive for temporary disability due to the injury. Acceptance of sick leave payments for any period for which the unit member may be entitled to receive temporary disability payments under the workmen's compensation laws shall constitute an election to charge absence for such period proportionately to the sick leave days to the unit members' credit.
