Common use of Duration and Pay Clause in Contracts

Duration and Pay. For the first sixty (60) working days of absence for any given injury or illness hereunder, the unit member shall be paid full compensation without use of sick leave credit. During this period, any Worker’s Compensation payments shall be endorsed to the District. Allowable leave shall be for not more than sixty (60) days (in any one fiscal year) during which the schools of the District are required to be in session or when the unit member would otherwise have been performing work for the District. Allowable leave shall not be accumulated from year to year. If the same illness or injury extends into the next fiscal year, the unit member shall be allowed to use only the amount of leave remaining from the previous fiscal year. Industrial accident or illness leave shall commence on the first day of absence, and shall be charged by one day for each day of authorized absence regardless of a temporary disability compensation award. After the sixty-day period, the unit member will use that portion of sick leave which, when added to the temporary disability compensation, will equal the unit member’s regular salary. After a unit member has used all available sick leave, the unit member shall be entitled to differential pay pursuant to section C above. At no time shall the combination of sick leave or differential pay, plus a unit member’s temporary disability compensation exceed the unit member’s normal salary.
