Industrial Accident/Illness Leave. Unit members who suffer from an industrial accident or illness (as defined by the California State Workers' Compensation Commission) shall be eligible for industrial accident and illness leave for a period of sixty (60) days due to disability arising from any single such industrial accident or illness. During such leave any temporary disability indemnity received from the insurance carrier will be deducted from the unit member’s pay warrant and the indemnity warrant endorsed over to the unit member. Temporary disability indemnity payments received during summer months or from other periods of absence not covered by industrial accident and illness leave shall remain the property of the unit member in addition to any other entitlements the unit member may have. The benefits of industrial accident and illness leave are in addition to sick leave and extended illness leave benefits. Accordingly, the Board shall not deduct from the accrued days of sick leave until industrial accident and illness leave benefits have been exhausted by a unit member who is absent due to industrial accident or illness. Eligibility for this leave requires that the unit member file the proper industrial accident/illness report within three (3) days of occurrence of the accident or illness.
