Common use of Injury Leave Approval Clause in Contracts

Injury Leave Approval. The Injury/Accident Report signed by the member’s immediate supervisor (or supervisor on duty) and the Chief, or designee, and the related documents provided to the member by the City in the "Injury Reporting Kit" shall be submitted to the Director of Human Resources within three (3) work days of the date of the injury. Where it is determined by the Safety Director that the injury was sustained by the member while in the performance of the member’s duties, and prevents the member from working his or her regular duties, the member shall be placed on injury leave. Should the member be approved for injury leave by the Safety Director, but workers’ compensation coverage is later denied, any past injury leave pay will be allocated to the member’s available leave balances, consistent with City policy, or reimbursed by the member to the City if the member’s leave balances are not adequate to cover the approved injury leave.
