Injury or Illness in Line of Duty Leave. A. An employee who is absent due to injuries or illness clearly received in the discharge of his/her duties shall be entitled to additional sick leave benefits as hereafter provided: An employee who is injured in the line of duty may be entitled to a maximum of ten (10) noncumulative additional leave days which shall not be charged against the employee's sick leave balance. All claims for such leave must clearly substantiate an injury received in carrying out assigned duties. Additionally, such paid leave shall only be awarded for the duty days for which the employee has been employed. Any employee who can clearly demonstrate the contracting of an infectious or contagious disease, for which inoculations are not available and exclusive of upper respiratory infections or complications therefrom, at the school center to which he/she is assigned may qualify for a maximum additional twenty-two (22) days of noncumulative sick leave if the disease requires the employee to use more than five (5) days of his/her accumulated sick balance. If the employee does not have five days of accumulated sick leave, this leave shall begin immediately after the use of the last sick leave day. These ten (10) noncumulative days will be applied to the first ten (10) days of approved Workers’ Compensation lost time.

An employee shall be entitled to injury or illness-in-line-of duty leave when it is necessary that he/she be absent from his/her duties because of illness from any contagious or infectious disease contracted in school, work, or personal injury received in the proper discharge of his/her duties. The term" injury" as used herein shall be defined as the result of an event which causes the employee to suffer an initial injury or a re-injury or re-aggravation of an injury from which the employee had previously been granted injury-in-line-of-duty leave. The term "event" as used herein shall mean an unforeseen, unexpected, or sudden happening, the nature of which is such that the injury sustained can logically be expected to result. No deduction shall be made from sick leave for these absences. Such leave shall not exceed ten (10) days in any one fiscal year. When regular sick leave is used for line-of- duty illness or injury, the sick leave used shall be reinstated based on the pro rata value of the worker’s compensation benefits received divided by the employee’s regular daily rate of pay. Such leave shall be non-cumulative. While on injury or illness-in-line-of-duty leave, an employee shall accrue vacation, seniority, and sick leave, and shall suffer no loss of insurance benefits, subject to Article 14.05, provided any worker’s compensation payments for such period shall be deducted from any salary payments and all required employee contributions are paid. The completion of the fiscal year shall not bar an otherwise qualified employee from receiving his/her balance of unused injury or illness-in- line-of-duty leave.
