Extended Illness and Injury Benefits. When a member of the bargaining unit is absent from his/her duties on account of illness or injury, whether or not the absence arises out of or in the course of the employment, the member shall be entitled to the following extended illness or injury leave benefit after he/she has exhausted all regular sick leave in accordance with California Education Code Section 45196 and applicable law/s. Members who are absent because of illness or injury and have exhausted the total number of days of current and accumulated sick leave and any donated catastrophic leaves shall receive 50% of their regular salary for a maximum of 100 working days. No other leaves, such as vacation, compensatory time, or floating holiday shall be used by the employee while on extended illness leave. For purposes of this section, “regular salary” means the amount the member would have earned in his or her regular assignment had he or she not been absent, but shall not include any overtime pay. Members shall be credited each fiscal year with 100 working days of extended injury or illness leave. The 100 days shall not accumulate form year to year. Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing the application of full or partial pay for periods of time during which a member would not normally be assigned to work.
