Injury Leave/Workers’ Compensation. Any employee who suffers an injury or illness on the job shall be subject to the Workers’ Compensation Act of Colorado. Until such time as a claim is determined to be compensable pursuant to Workers’ Compensation Act, the time away from the job shall be charged to such employee’s accrued leave time, beginning with accrued sick leave and followed by vacation/annual leave.
