Industrial Accidents. On‐the‐job accidents are covered under the District’s Worker’s Compensation insurance policy. It shall be the duty of all employees to make an immediate report of an on‐the‐job accidental injury to their Supervisor or the Assistant General Manager. Employees who are on a Worker’s Compensation leave of absence are required to exhaust all available accrued sick leave. Once sick leave is exhausted, the employee has the option to use any other available leave balances, prior to being placed on leave of absence without pay. While on leave of absence without pay, employees will not accrue sick leave, vacation leave, administrative leave, seniority, or CalPERS service credits.
Industrial Accidents a. Any unit member who is injured as a result of an industrial accident shall submit to the office of the District’s Risk Manager a completed District Accident Report form as soon as possible.
b. Unit members injured as a result of an industrial accident are covered by the Workers’ Compensation Laws of the State of California and may be entitled to receive benefits pursuant to such laws.
Industrial Accidents. 1. In accordance with Labor Code Section 4600, the County has the right to require the treatment of work-related injuries or illnesses by a County-designated physician, except that after thirty (30) days from the date that the injury is reported, the employee may be treated by a physician of his or her own choice within a reasonable geographic area. Pursuant to Cal Reg. §9781, the employee may request a one-time change of physician with a notice provided to their assigned claims administrator. Per LC 4600 (d)(a), if an employee has notified his or her employer in writing prior to the date of injury that he or she has a personal physician, the employee shall have the right to be treated by that physician from the date of injury. A pre-designation form is available on the MINE.
2. First-Week Coverage. In cases where an employee initiates a workers’ compensation claim, the County will provide full pay, without charge against sick leave, during the first week off work, or any portion thereof, following an industrial accident, provided that the County determines (i) that time off work is warranted for the injury or for treatment and
Industrial Accidents. 1. In cases where an employee initiates a workers’ compensation claim, the County will provide full pay, without charge, against sick leave during the first (1st) week off work, or any portion thereof, following an industrial accident, provided that the County determines: • That time off work is warranted for the injury or for treatment; and • That the duration of time off work is warranted. If a claim is denied and the following conditions are met, 1) the County continues to determine the time and duration off work are warranted and 2) the employee has received the first week of coverage, then a leave adjustment will be completed by the department so that the week is charged against the employee’s sick or other leave. In all other cases, accumulated sick leave shall be applied to time off work following an industrial accident in a proportionate amount which, when added to workers’ compensation benefits, provides total compensation equal to the employee’s wage or salary. Upon exhaustion of accumulated sick leave, accrued vacation time may be applied in the same manner.
2. In cases where an industrial accident victim exhausts all accrued sick leave, five (5) additional days (up to 40 hours) of sick leave will be credited to the employee upon employee’s return to work.
Industrial Accidents. When an employee is injured so seriously as to require that he be excused from work by an authorized representative of management, he shall be paid for the balance of the shift on which the industrial injury occurred. When, after the employee returns to work, there is a bona fide reoccurrence of the injury on the job and an authorized representative of management, acting on the recommendation of a doctor, excuses the employee from work, he shall be paid for the balance of the shift. Employees who are working after having a compensable injury or illness who are required to take time off during a regular working day to receive medical treatment for such compensable injury or illness shall be paid their regular hourly rate of pay for such time off.
Industrial Accidents. In cases of work-related illness of injury, the employee shall receive full pay for a period not to exceed one year, in accordance with Labor Code Section 4850, without charge against sick leave provided the County determines that:
1. The illness of injury is, in fact, work related.
2. Time off is warranted by a physician.
3. The duration of the time off work is warranted by a physician
4. Medical report certified time off. In accordance with Labor code section 4600, the County has the right to require the treatment of work-related injuries or illnesses by a County-designated physician, except that after 30 days from the date that the injury is reported, the employee may be treated by a physician of his or her own choice within a reasonable geographic area. On or after January 1, 2005, upon completion of the employer created ‘’Medical Provider Network’ this provision will be altered to reflect the provisions of the new law. However, if the employee has notified his or her employer in writing (Employee’s Designation of Personal Physician) prior to the date of injury that he or she has a personal physician (as defined by the Business & Professional Code 2000) who retains the employee’s medical records and medical history and has agreed in advance* to be the predesignated physician, the employee shall have the right to be treated by that physician from the date of injury. The employer shall continue to have the duty to provide first aid treatment and appropriate emergency treatment reasonably required by the nature of the injury or illness (LC 9780.2) *the predesignated physician shall submit a signed form attesting to their agreement to be the individual’s treating physician in the event of a Worker’s Compensation Injury or Illness and that they will adhere to the rules and regulations governing treating physicians pursuant to LC 9785. This Form will be attached to the predesignated form on file with the employer. If the work related disability continues beyond the one-year period, accumulated sick leave shall be applied to time off work in a proportionate amount which when added to the worker’s compensation benefits will provide total compensation equal to the employee’s regular wage or salary. Upon exhaustion of accumulated sick leave, accrued vacation time may be applied in the same manner. Compensation shall continue until the employee returns to work, all accruals are exhausted, or it is medically determined that there is a permanent disability which pr...
