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.
