Common use of Compensable Injury Clause in Contracts

Compensable Injury. For the necessary absences from normal assignments because of a disability resulting from an injury arising out of or in the course of employment by the Board, the affected employee shall be paid the difference between said employee’s net regular compensation and any benefits received under the Workers’ Compensation Act to the extent the employee’s unused accumulated sick leave credits provide sufficient funds for this purpose. Payments from accumulated sick leave to supplement Workers’ Compensation payments will only be made after Workers’ Compensation payments are determined and will not be used as an offset against Workers’ Compensation. The Board shall continue to pay the monthly premium for health and dental insurance for a period of three (3) calendar months or until the end of the school year, whichever is greater, after the date of the injury. If an employee suffers an injury resulting in lost work time during the course of employment due to an assault by a student, any resulting loss of work, up to the equivalent of five (5) working days total per incident, shall not be deducted from the member’s sick leave, and shall instead be fully covered by the district. Extensions to the above may be granted at the Superintendent’s discretion.
