Job Injury Leave. Leaves of absence with pay shall be granted permanent employees of the District for up to 6 months while such employee is unable to perform substantially all of the duties of the employee's actual job assignment by reason of injury or disease which arises out of and during the course of the employee's employment by the District, provided that:
(a) The employee's inability to perform is verified in writing delivered to the District by the employee's physician promptly following the injury and a physician appointed and compensated by the District (should the District elect to have its own physician consulted).
(b) The injury or disease is determined to arise out of and during the course of District employment pursuant to Workers' Compensation procedures.
(c) The injury or disease shall be reported in accordance with Workers' Compensation laws on the District's Accident Report form.
(d) The employee's physician states in writing promptly delivered to the District the probable length of time the employee will not be able to perform full duty and the light duty, if any, the employee can, if requested by the District, perform in the interim. It is the employee's responsibility to deliver to the employee’s immediate supervisor a note from the treating physician stating the employee's work status (full duty, light duty or off duty). If the work status is anything but full duty the note must also include how long it will be until the employee returns to full duty or the date the employee will be reevaluated. It is the employee's duty to provide these notes on a current basis. In order to qualify for Job Injury Leave an employee must provide a doctor's note as indicated above.
(e) Employees who are currently receiving Job Injury Leave pay for an injury covered by Workers Compensation prior to April 1, 2003, shall be entitled to up to one year with pay for said covered injury as provided in the 1998 Labor Agreement Article 30.
Job Injury Leave. (a) Any City Employee who sustains an injury or contracts an occupational disease directly through the performance of their work will be entitled to injury leave. Employees are responsible for informing their supervisor of all job related injuries as soon as possible following the injury. An Employee who utilizes injury leave will receive pay in the amount determined by the Workers’ Compensation Commission and as paid by the Employer’s Workers’ Compensation Insurance Carrier without charge against the Employee’s annual or sick leave account, subject to the following conditions:
(i) The disability must be compensable under the State Workers’ Compensation Act.
(ii) The disability must be temporary in nature.
(iii) Payment of injury leave will be contingent upon the assignment of Workers’ Compensation Insurance to the Employee for the period of injury leave.
(iv) An Employee who may be eligible for injury leave will have the first three (3) days of absence from work charged to sick leave. Continuous absence beyond three (3) days will be cause for granting injury leave. Continued absence beyond twenty-eight (28) days will be cause to credit the Employee’s sick leave with three (3) days.
(v) The Employee will be subject to a temporary job-reassignment for the period of the disability without change in pay status, provided the Employee is unable to discharge the duties and responsibilities of their assigned position, and subject to a physician’s approval, is able to perform the duties and responsibilities of the position to which they are temporarily reassigned. Refusal to accept job reassignment will terminate the Employee’s eligibility to receive injury leave. Should an Employee elect not to accept temporary job reassignment, their employment with the Employer may be terminated, unless the Employee is also on FMLA leave. A temporary job-reassignment is defined as part-time or full-time duties that are consistent with medical advice provided by the attending physician and is limited to the time period specified in the attending physician’s statement, which cannot exceed thirty (30) calendar days. The physician must submit an additional medical statement to extend the temporary duty assignment.
(vi) At the Employer’s expense, the Employer may require the Employee to report for a fitness for duty examination by a physician of the Employer’s choice in order to determine the Employee’s ability for temporary reassignment, or return to their assigned position, or for...

1. Legislation listed in the School Laws of Oklahoma provides that a school district employee is to be paid “his or her full contract salary for the remainder of that school year or contract year or period, whichever is applicable” when unable to continue duties as a result of an injury sustained in the reasonable performance of his or her duties from assault by a pupil, relative of a pupil, or person of the pupil’s household or injury sustained as a result of quelling or attempting to quell or stop a fight, disorder or any disturbance related to a school function or activity. Also, this leave is to be granted without the loss of leave benefits.
2. For any other work-related injury arising out of the course of employment, the teacher shall receive workers compensation benefits. The teacher may utilize accumulated sick or personal business leave or sick leave donation days at the rate of three (.3) tenths of such leave per day to the extent that the teacher receives full wages during the absence from work.

Job Injury Leave. Section 29.1 The Service Safety Director may grant up to ninety (90) days of job injury leave at full pay to an employee who is injured on the job within the scope of his employment.

Inasmuch as the workers' compensation payments are delayed, the City will continue to pay the employee on a regular schedule, in accordance with the number of days granted in Section A. Failure or refusal to sign the wage agreement letter is grounds for discipline.

(d) If he has sick leave available, the employee must use his sick leave for the first five (5) days of his injury. Injury leave will begin on the 6th day. Provided injury leave is approved, the employee will be credited for the five days of sick leave after the injury leave becomes effective on the sixth (6) day;
(e) The employee must inform the Service Safety Director each pay period about his current medical status; and
(f) The employee must release all medical records pertaining to the injuries diagnosed, treatment and therapy.

2. The injury or disease is determined to arise out of and during the course of District employment pursuant to Workers’ Compensation procedures; and
3. The injury or disease is reported within 24 hours from its occurrence on an Accident- Injury-Damage Report form; and
4. The two physicians (if one has been designated by the District) agree on the probable length of time employee will not be able to perform full duty and the light duty, if any, the employee can perform in the interim. However, all employees hired into or who transfer from another District position into one of these classifications after October 1, 2006, will be provided with six (6) months of job injury leave. When all the employee's job injury leave has been used, the employee may then use any accrued sick leave with pay for which such employee qualified in order to remain in a leave with pay status, but may not use accrued vacation for such purpose. Thereafter, the disabled employee shall remain on a leave without pay status until either the employee is able to return to work, or the District elects (in its sole discretion) to terminate the employee or the employee resigns. Employees using job injury leave agree to cooperate with the District in pursuing claims against third parties and to the same payroll deductions for Workers’ Compensation and similar benefits received by the employee as set forth in Section 11.5 (C) (4) above in the case of sick leave.

The employee shall be paid an amount equal to sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of his/her regular pay which may be excluded from federal adjusted gross income and therefore is not subject to either federal or state income tax (standard Workers Compensation benefit). In addition, the Employer shall provide a supplement to the standard Worker's Compensation benefit so that the gross pay of employees is equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the employee’s regular gross pay. If it is determined that the injury is non-line-of-duty and the employee has been paid for days in excess of his accrued leave days, he shall repay or be docked for such pay; provided, however, that such repayment or docking shall not exceed forty- five (45) days of overpayments. An employee may repay any amount owed by using sick leave, vacation or personal leave days or by having his pay docked; provided, however, that in no instance shall the Department dock an employee more than twenty-five percent (25%) of any paycheck.
