Industrial Accident or Illness Leave (Revised 1989-90. The following provisions shall apply to an industrial accident or industrial illness leave by a member of the bargaining unit. 1. Up to sixty (60) working days of pay and benefits shall be allowed in any one (1) fiscal year for the same accident or illness. 2. Industrial accident or illness leave will commence on the first day of absence. 3. Allowable leave shall not be cumulative from year to year. 4. When an industrial accident or illness occurs at a time when the full sixty (60) days will overlap into the next fiscal year, the employee shall be entitled to only that amount remaining at the end of the fiscal year in which the injury or illness occurred for the same illness or injury. 5. Industrial accident leave will be reduced by one (1) day for each day of authorized absence regardless of a compensation award made under worker’s compensation. 6. Payment for wages lost on any day shall not, when added to an award granted the employee under the workers’ compensation laws of this state, exceed the normal wage for the day. 7. The industrial accident or illness leave of absence is to be used in lieu of entitlement acquired under normal sick leave benefits. 8. When entitlement to industrial accident or illness leave has been exhausted, entitlement to other sick leave will then be used; but if an employee is receiving workers compensation, the person shall be entitled to use only so much of the person’s accumulated or available sick leave, accumulated compensating time, vacation or other available leave which, when added to the workers’ compensation award, provide for a full day’s wage or salary. 9. Any employee receiving benefits pursuant to this paragraph shall, during periods of injury or illness, remain within the State of California unless the Governing Board authorizes travel outside the state. 10. Only absences which are supported by a doctor’s certificate and have been verified to be the result of a work connected injury or illness can be paid under the appropriate leave policy. Any absence which cannot be verified shall be charged against the employee’s personal illness leave or other appropriate leave or salary will be deducted. 11. Whenever possible, injuries shall be reported within twenty-four (24) hours of the occurrence of the injury on forms provided by the District.
