When the disability payment is reduced pursuant to state statute because the employee failed to use required or provided protective gear or devices; was not following safety rules or procedures; or was injured as a result of a flagrant unsafe practice, such reduction shall also be applied under this article. F. The income maintenance period is an upper limit per each unrelated Workers' Compensation claim. G. The District may, in exceptional cases, and at its sole discretion, continue this maintenance of income at full or partial pay for additional periods of 30 days up to a maximum time limit of 12 months, including the initial income maintenance period. Denial of such an extension is not grievable, however, the District will inform the Association and provide an explanation for the denial. H. When reimbursement is necessary for an overpayment, the District and employee will devise a mutually agreeable repayment plan pursuant to the District procedure. I. Any employee who falsifies an industrial injury claim, or in any way attempts to receive benefits when the injury was not employment related, shall be subject to discipline up to and including immediate separation. Prior to any investigation, the District will inform the Association of its intent to investigate and upon its conclusion, will so inform the Association of the District’s findings.
