Industrial Accident Leave. Industrial accident leave provides continuation of pay to a worker who suffers an accident directly connected with the job. It does not affect the amount of accumulated sick leave. Industrial accident leave does not accumulate from year to year. If an absence overlaps into a new fiscal year, the worker will have available only that amount of industrial accident leave which has not been used in the prior fiscal year for the same accident. A worker may have no more than sixty days of industrial accident leave for the same accident or illness. Leave pay commences with the first day of absence. When a worker is eligible for Worker's Compensation, the compensation from that source is deducted from his/her pay so that the amount from both sources is equal to regular pay. If the worker is still receiving Workers’ Compensation, the worker may elect to use his or her accumulated paid leave (sick leave, personal necessity leave, vacation leave, or comp time) in an amount which, when added to the Workers’ Compensation award, equals a full day’s salary. After sick leave is exhausted, the worker is eligible for extended sick leave (see 10.2). At any time that the worker receives Worker's Compensation, the amount will be deducted from the salary paid by the District. If the absence must continue after he/she is no longer eligible for compensation from the District, the full amount of the funds from Worker's Compensation may be retained by the worker. Industrial accident leave is not considered a break in service, and the individual (if physically able) has the absolute right to return to a position in the class which he/she left, so long as the absence is not longer than the total of industrial accident leave, sick leave, and all other available leaves of absence paid or unpaid.
