With regard to the injury leave provided for in these ordinances, the employee may use injury leave for up to six (6) months of time lost from work due to the injury, so long as the six (6) months of injury leave is used within the twelve (12) months period from the date of the occurrence of the injury.

INJURY LEAVE WITH PAY. 21.1: Any illness or injury to an employee arising out of the performance of their regular duties resulting in temporary disability to the extent that they are unable to resume their duties, they shall be entitled to their regular compensation until sufficiently recovered to perform regular duties for a period of ninety (90) working days or longer at the discretion of the Sheriff. Accumulated sick leave shall not be considered in the computation of leave on account of such duty incurred injuries. Employees shall not be entitled to regular compensation during absence from duty on account of injuries if said injury was sustained while not on duty. Such absence from duty shall be considered as sick leave and shall be governed by the rules pertaining to sick leave.
21.2: An employee receiving Worker's Compensation and regular salary shall not be entitled to receive the total combination of both and be compensated more than their regular compensation. The employee receiving salary shall endorse the Worker's Compensation payment over to the County. The employee who is not receiving regular salary shall retain the Worker's Compensation payment.
21.3: In the event the employee is not granted an extension or continuation of full pay without deduction from sick day accruals, the employee may elect to continue to receive compensation from the County using accrued sick days.

21.4: In the event that an employee intends to travel out of the County for reasons other than for medical care or treatment, the Employer shall have the right to require that the employee see a physician of the Employer's selection to determine if such a trip is medically detrimental. The employee's failure to comply with this provision shall constitute sufficient grounds for denial of further salary subsidy by the Employer as provided in 21.1:. This provision shall not subject the employee to discipline provided the employee is not determined medically fit to return to work by the physician.
INJURY LEAVE WITH PAY. When an employee's absence from work is necessitated because of an illness or injury incurred while on the job with the City and said illness or injury is compensable under Ohio Worker's Compensation Law, injury leave shall be granted for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) calendar days for each injury. This one hundred eighty (180) calendar days must be used within two (2) calendar years of the employee’s date of injury. Such leave shall be granted by the City Manager, or the City Manager’s designee, based upon the recommendation of the Chief of Police and upon submittal by the employee of a statement from a licensed physician justifying that the employee is unable to return to modified duty or full work status due to the illness or injury. The physician statement must be a fully completed and signed BWC-Medco 14 (or equivalent). Such leave shall not be charged against the employee's sick leave balance unless it is determined that the illness or injury is a non-work-related illness or injury and is not compensable under Ohio Worker's Compensation Law. In order to be eligible for injury leave, the employee must report the illness/injury to the employee’s supervisor within three (3) work-days of the incident giving rise to the illness/injury.

Once a member returns from injury leave to full or restricted duty, subsequent time off from work for medical appointments or prescribed physical therapy caused by the service-connected injury and which occur during the member's scheduled shift hours will qualify for injury leave pay provided the member has injury leave time still available. The injury leave pay will be for no more time than the scheduled work time missed to commute to and from the appointment and to attend the appointment, but will not exceed four

However, in no event shall such period of eligibility exceed six (6) months. After the first instance during any contract year the period of eligibility shall be deemed to commence on the seventh (7th) working day from the date when the employee incurred such injury giving rise to said temporary total disability and shall end six (6) consecutive calendar months after the date when the employee incurred such injury. During the seven (7) days waiting period, an employee may use accumulated sick leave. During this period of eligibility, payment of said salary shall be deemed to be payment of all statutorily imposed benefits under the worker's compensation act or other applicable pension laws of the State of Nebraska. The benefits provided for by this Section are not intended to be in addition to any benefits provided for by state law, but are intended to be payment of such benefits when applicable. In no case will any employee be allowed to receive statutory benefits in addition to the benefits provided herein. In order for such employee to be eligible for injury leave benefits, the employee shall furnish, when requested by the appointing authority, such medical or other supporting evidence regarding any injury or condition which such employee claims has rendered the employee temporarily totally disabled. Upon the refusal to provide such requested information, such injury leave benefits may be withheld or discontinued until such evidence is provided.

If approved, all members shall be eligible for injury leave with pay up to a maximum of forty (40) workdays per calendar year, not to exceed a total of eighty (80) workdays, per allowed Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) claim number that meets the requirements set forth in this Article.

The Authority will pay injury leave from the date of initial injury until its third-party administrator makes a determination on the allowance of that claim. If allowed, injury leave will continue until the member begins to receive payments in lieu of wages in connection with the claim. Additional allowances and request for additional allowances or requests for treatment in a claim do not entitle a member to additional periods of injury leave.
(1) during the member’s regular Authority shift; or (2) where such work involves or requires performance of the same or similar duties as those regularly performed by the member for the Authority; or (3) where such job involves duties and/or physical demands the performance of which would conflict with the injury/medical condition allowed. Whenever a member is required to stop working because of an injury or occupational illness, the member shall be paid for the remaining hours of that day or shift at the member’s regular rate; such time shall not be charged to leave of any kind. Occupational illnesses arising out of job related events shall be treated as injury leave under this paragraph 29.1.
