Leave Utilization. Upon the expiration of the covered salary protection period, if the employee is still unable to work, the employee may elect to utilize accrued sick leave. When accrued sick leave has been exhausted, if the employee is still, because of disability, unable to work, the employee will be permitted to use all accrued vacation leave as sick leave. Subsequent to exhausting of both the employee's sick leave and vacation leave, the employee shall receive no additional compensation from the Department. Procedural Requirements - Before the Department grants these benefits, the employee shall comply with reasonable administrative procedures established by the Department. The Department may also request, at its option and expense, that the employee be examined by a physician appointed by the Department. The examining physician shall provide to the Department and the employee a copy of his medical findings and his opinion as to whether or not the employee is able to perform his normal work duties and/or whatever, if any, work duties the employee is able to perform or unable to perform. The Department may further require that such injured employee make himself/herself available for temporary modified duty as soon as possible after release by a qualified physician which may be either Department or employee appointed. Accumulation of Hours - Compensable hours are for each injury or illness and hours necessary for subsequent medical attention because of the same injury will be accumulative.
