LEAVE DUE TO INJURY OR DISEASE INCURRED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF DUTY. An employee who is necessarily absent from duty because of occupational injury or disease, as defined by the Worker's Compensation Law, may, pending adjudication of his or her case and while his or her disability renders him or her unable to perform the duties of his or her position, be granted leave with full pay for a period not to exceed six (6) months (exclusive of accumulated sick leave credits and other time credit(s), on approval of the appointing authority after full consideration of all facts involved. Vacation and sick leave credits shall not be earned under these circumstances for periods that an employee is on such discretionary six (6) months' leave with pay. Should the disability persist beyond this period, plus accumulated sick leave credits and other time credits, such employee may be placed on leave without pay for a further period not to exceed twelve (12) months. When employee has been awarded compensation by the Worker's Compensation Board for the period of his or her leave with pay, such compensation award for loss of time for such period shall be credited to the College. Upon his or her return to active duty, such employee shall be re-credited with that proportion of earned credits consumed during the period of his or her absence, which the amount of his or her Worker's Compensation award covering the period of earned sick leave and other time credits consumed and credited to the College, bears to the amount of salary he or she received during the period that sick leave and other time credits were consumed. All lump sum payments and/or awards to which the employee is entitled by law for injury or disability shall be retained by the employee and the College shall not make any claim for all or any portion of such award. If any employee requests vacation pay for his or her vacation while on a compensable leave, the employer shall pay such employee for the accrued leave.
