Injury Compensation. Employees covered by this Agreement shall be covered by Subchapter I of Chapter 81 of Title 5, and any amendments thereto, relating to compensation for work injuries. The Employer will promulgate appropriate regulations which comply with applicable regulations of the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs and any amendments thereto.
Injury Compensation. A. When employees or their representatives report an illness or injury has occurred in the performance of official duties, the employees at their request will be promptly counseled by trained personnel as to their right to file for compensation benefits and the benefits payable. The employee also shall be advised as soon as possible that, when traumatic injury leave has been exhausted, compensation benefits can be used in lieu of sick or annual leave. The Agency will give appropriate assistance to the employee in filing a compensation claim.
B. The Agency and Union understand that injury compensation cannot be paid for any period when an employee is on paid leave. If, when traumatic injury leave has been exhausted, the injured employee has sick or annual leave to his or her credit, he or she may decide whether to use all or part of it before applying for injury compensation. If the employee should be charged for sick or annual leave (or if he or she is so charged because he or she was not informed of the possibility of injury compensation benefits), he or she may repay in a lump- sum or by any other plan acceptable to his or her payroll office, the amount collected while on annual or sick leave. This repayment would permit him or her to qualify for injury compensation provided all other conditions are met.
C. Employees will be permitted to review documents relating to their claim which the Office of Workers’ Compensation and Servicing Human Resources Office have authorized to make available. Employees may be accompanied by their designated representative if they so desire.
Injury Compensation. Section 1. The Employer agrees to comply with applicable workers’ compensation laws and regulations when an employee suffers an industrial illness or injury in the performance of assigned duties.

SECTION 3: If the employee incurs medical expenses or loses time from work beyond the date of injury, including time lost obtaining examination and/ or treatment, the Agency must submit Form CA- 1 to the appropriate OWCP office as soon as possible but no later than ten (10) working days from the date of the receipt of the CA-1 from the employee. In the case of occupational disease, the completed CA-2 must be submitted to the appropriate OWCP office within ten (10) working days from the date of receipt from the employee. CA-1 and CA-2 forms must not be held for receipt of supporting documentation.

Injury Compensation. Employees covered by this Agreement shall be covered by
Injury Compensation. If an employee eligible to receive sick leave is injured in the course of employment and receives disability benefits under Worker’s Compensation, the employee shall receive from Decatur Public School District #61 the difference between the Worker’s Compensation benefit and the wages or salary to which the employee is entitled under the Decatur Public School District #61 leave program. The accumulated sick leave of the employee shall be reduced proportionately based upon the compensation remitted by the Decatur Public School District #61. Pro-rated sick leave shall be available to the employee only to the extent that an employee has accumulated sick leave days, so that an employee shall receive full pay upon days which an employee is unable to work due to work-related injury or illness, but in no instance will an employee be entitled to a combination of sick leave benefits and Worker’s Compensation benefits in excess of the employee’s regular pay. In no event will an employee be entitled to sick leave benefits beyond the accumulation of sick leave days of that employee. An employee on Worker’s Compensation may waive sick leave pay, in which case the employee shall not be charged with sick leave use.
Injury Compensation. Compensation for injury received while in line of duty shall be paid according to the provisions of the Worker's Compensation Act.
