Industrial Injury Leave. (Pursuant to Education Code Section 45192) The Board of Trustees of the Konocti Unified School District hereby specifically limits the school district liability for industrial accident or illness to the minimum provisions mandated by Education Code Section 45192. 3.9.1 Such leave shall not exceed sixty (60) working days in any one (1) fiscal year for the same accident. 3.9.2 Allowable leave shall not be accumulated from year to year. 3.9.3 Industrial accident or illness leave will commence on first day of absence. 3.9.4 Payment for wages lost on any day shall not, when added to the award granted the employee under the workers’ compensation laws of this state, exceed the normal wage for the day. 3.9.5 Industrial accident leave will be reduced by one (1) day for each day of authorized absence regardless of a compensation award made under workers’ compensation. 3.9.6 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. 3.9.7 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 his/her 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. 3.9.8 Classified employees of the Konocti Unified School District who have been continuously employed for a period of six (6) months shall be eligible for the benefits of this leave policy. 3.9.9 The period of leave of absence, paid or unpaid, shall not be considered to be a break in service of the employee. 3.9.10 During all paid leaves of absence, whether industrial accident leave as provided in this section, sick leave, vacation, compensation time off or other available leave provided by law or the action of the Governing Board, the employee shall endorse to the District wage loss benefits received under the workers’ compensation laws of this state. The District, in turn, shall issue the employee appropriate warrants for payment of wages or salary and shall deduct normal retirement and other authorized contributions. Reduction of entitlement to leave shall be made only in accordance with this section. 3.9.11 When all available leaves of absence, paid or unpaid, have been exhausted, and if the employee is not medically able to assume the duties of the person’s position, the person shall, if not placed in another position, be placed on a reemployment list for a period of thirty-nine (39) months. When available, during the thirty-nine (39) month period, the person shall be employed in a vacant position in the class of the person’s previous assignment over all other available candidates except for a reemployment list established because of lack of funds, in which case the person shall be listed in accordance with the appropriate seniority regulations. 3.9.12 An employee who has been placed on a reemployment list as provided herein, who has been medically released for return to duty and who fails to accept an appropriate assignment shall be dismissed.
