Leaves for On-the-Job Injuries. A leave of absence will be granted by the Employer to any employee for a temporary absence required as a result of an on- the-job injury for which the employee is receiving temporary or healing period benefits under Iowa Workers' Compensation. During such leave, the employee will be compensated, up to the total of his/her accrued Long Term and Short Term Leave balances, earned by the employee, for the difference between his/her regular straight time wages and the compensation to which he/she is entitled under the Iowa Workers' Compensation Law. In order to access accrued Short Term and Long Term Leave balances, a written statement from a practicing physician, dentist, or osteopath licensed under the laws of the State of Iowa describing in detail the nature and extent of the injury and expected date of return to work will be required.
