Continuing Pay. A permanent employee will receive the applicable percentage of regular monthly salary in lieu of workers’ compensation during any period of compensable temporary disability not to exceed one year. “Compensable temporary disability absence” for the purpose of this Section, is any absence due to work-connected disability which qualifies for temporary disability compensation under workers’ compensation law set forth in Division 4 of the California Labor Code. When any disability becomes medically permanent and stationary, the salary provided by this Section will terminate. No charge will be made against sick leave or vacation for these salary payments. Sick leave and vacation rights do not accrue for those periods during which continuing pay is received. Employees are entitled to a maximum of one (1) year of continuing pay benefits for any one injury or illness. Continuing pay begins at the same time that temporary workers’ compensation benefits commence and continues until either the member is declared medically permanent/stationary, or until one (1) year of continuing pay, whichever comes first, provided the employee remains in an active employed status. Continuing pay is automatically terminated on the date an employee is separated from County service by resignation, retirement, layoff, or the employee is no longer employed by the County. In these instances, employees will be paid workers’ compensation benefits as prescribed by workers’ compensation laws. All continuing pay must be cleared through the County Administrator’s Office, Risk Management Division.
