INJURED ON DUTY LEAVE. All employees certified by their physicians as unable to work because of a work related injury shall be entitled to Injured on Duty Leave up to a maximum of 1,040 working hours from the date of injury. Thereafter, the employee must use accumulated sick leave. Any Worker's Compensation benefits for lost time or wages paid to the injured employee while using Injured on Duty or Sick Leave shall be paid to the City. If it is determined by a medical provider acceptable to the city that an employee has a permanent injury that will not allow the employee to return to work, the injury on duty benefit terminates and thereafter accrued sick leave must be used.

Such illness or injury must be reported to the employee's supervisor and the employee must present a doctor's certificate substantiating that injury or illness if they lose time from work because of it. The City retains the right to verify the reason for the absence by contacting the employee's physician or referring the employee to a physician appointed by the City. The Union shall have the right to a copy of such report. In the event that the employee's physician and the physician appointed by the City do not agree on the nature of or the extent of the job-related injury or illness and/or duration of said injury of illness and cannot agree as to whether or not the employee is physically fit to return to their job or light duty, then an impartial physician shall be appointed from the list. The impartial list shall be established by the Association and the City at the beginning of the contract. There shall be a minimum of six (6) doctors on the list who shall be used on a rotating basis. Replacements shall be ordered as necessary. However, if a specific specialist is needed, said specialist shall be deemed next on the list. The impartial physician's findings and recommendations shall be binding on both parties. The fees and expenses of the impartial physician shall be borne by the City. No employee shall be returned to work, including light duty, unless the employee is released by his/her physician or the impartial physician to perform such work.
