Common use of Industrial disability Clause in Contracts

Industrial disability. 7.1 Whenever an employee is absent from work as a result of a work-related disability and is receiving temporary disability indemnity payments provided for by the Labor Code of the State of California, such employee may elect to utilize accumulated sick leave, vacation or compensatory time off if applicable, to supplement the employee’s temporary disability indemnity payments up to a maximum of the employee’s full salary. Following exhaustion of accumulated sick leave credits, the employee may use compensatory time off or vacation credits for the purpose of supplementing temporary disability indemnity payments. During the time an employee is receiving temporary disability indemnity payments which are supplemented by accumulated sick leave, vacation, or compensatory time off, if applicable, the employee shall continue to accumulate additional vacation and sick leave credit, and is entitled to continuation of the employee’s insurance benefit program. An employee’s insurance benefits shall be continued at the District’s expense for a maximum of six (6) full continuous calendar months following the date of exhaustion of other forms of District-paid time off or six (6) months from the first date of employee’s absence as a result of disability whenever the employee elects to not use District paid-time off benefits to supplement temporary disability indemnity payments. Holidays, which occur during the period for which an employee is receiving temporary disability indemnity payments, shall be recognized by such employees as holidays for compensation purposes up to a maximum of full pay.
