Common use of Job Related Illness or Disability Clause in Contracts

Job Related Illness or Disability. Under the provisions of the Kansas Worker's Compensation Law the Board will continue to provide coverage for all licensed professionals. A licensed professional may use his/her accumulated temporary days of leave to cover absences due to job related illness or injury, however, the compensation paid to the licensed professional for such temporary leave shall be reduced by the amount the licensed professional receives in workmen's compensation benefits. A licensed professional who contracts a compensable illness or sustains an injury in the course of his/her employment, shall notify the Cooperative office and file the worker's compensation claim form within ten (10) days following the date the injury occurred as required by law. If a member of the certified/licensed staff is injured by a student (or parent/legal guardian of a student) while engaged in an activity required of the assignment for which the injured employee is being paid by the Cooperative, the injured staff member shall be entitled to paid leave for medical treatment or care directly and substantially linked to the injury if such care must be provided during contract time. This paid leave will not be deducted from the staff member’s general leave awarded through the negotiated agreement. The Cooperative administration may request physician confirmation that the medical treatment is associated with the work-related injury and required for the treatment of that injury. This protection would include spontaneously occurring events in which a staff member intervenes out of concern for the physical safety of the students/staff involved without the prior approval referenced below. This paid leave policy would not apply to staff members injured while participating in activities that are not recognized as essential job functions. If it is not clearly indicated, it is the responsibility of the staff member to obtain administrative definition of “essential job functions” prior to engaging in activities not clearly associated with the assignment.
