Extension of Industrial Injury Leave. a. If the employee was physically injured during an act or acts of violence related to and during the performance of assigned duties, the leave of absence may be extended beyond the initial sixty (60) day period up to an additional 150 days. In order to qualify for such an extension, the employee must have (1) notified the site administrator and appropriate law enforcement authorities within twenty-four (24) hours of the incident if the employee was physically able to do so; (2) completed the employee's written report and reported for treatment as required in Section 12.0(e) above; (3) reported, as soon as it becomes evident that an extension is to be requested, for a District-approved physical examination and received approval as a result of such examination; and (4) applied in writing to the District for such an extension, using a District form. Such application should be filed with the immediate administrator as soon as the employee sees the need for such an extension, so that the District has adequate time to review and process the claim prior to the effective date of the leave extension. Determination whether the injury was the result of an act of violence, and whether the act of violence was related to and during the performance of duties, but not whether it is compensable under worker’s compensation laws, shall be made by the immediate administrator. Determination whether the injury is disabling beyond the initial sixty (60) day period shall be made by the District. An employee may be required during the extended period to be evaluated by the District at any time.
