Employees whose injury results in a worker’s compensation claim beyond the 7th day of injury, shall not earn more than 100% of their regular compensation (combination of district contribution and worker’s compensation contribution) for the first seven (7) days of the eligible injury. The district’s worker’s compensation policy shall be the state mandated percentage of an employee’s salary after the 7th day of a qualified injury for the extent of the employee’s eligibility for worker’s compensation benefits. District seniority shall accrue for the entire period of the covered injury up to 365 days.
