EXTENDED COMBINED SICK LEAVE. WORKERS COMPENSATION PAYMENTS If, at the expiration period of claim as defined in (2) above, the employee has available and chooses to use their sick leave bank, on a one sick day for one work day basis, to continue their regular pay benefits, they may so designate. Once an employee chooses to use his or her sick days, as described above, they will continue to be used until they are depleted or written notice to stop usage is received, whichever comes first. If said employee puts a stop on the use of sick days to continue benefits, he/she may not start use of them again for the same accident or injury. In any case, combined sick leave/Worker’s Compensation pay benefits shall not exceed regular pay dollar amounts. When getting full pay via the 120-day pay period of claim or sick day option, vacation and sick days will accrue.
