On-the-Job Injury/Illness. Employees shall be entitled to all compensation and benefits as provided in Chapter 440, Florida Statutes. In addition, a member of the bargaining unit shall be entitled to illness/injury-in-the-line-of-duty leave at regular pay (reduced by the amount of worker's compensation received in the form of temporary disability paid by reason of such injury or illness) for a period of seven (7) days when he has been absent from his duties because of a personal injury received in the discharge of duty or because of illness from any contagious or infectious disease contracted in school work. Health insurance benefits for the employee shall be covered by the Employer during the time an employee is on illness/injury-in-the-line-of-duty leave. The following requirements shall be observed for illness-in-line-of-duty leave:
On-the-Job Injury/Illness. Employees shall be entitled to all compensation and benefits as provided in Chapter 440, Florida Statutes and Florida Law.
On-the-Job Injury/Illness. If an industrial injury or illness results in an employee being absent from work, accumulated sick leave shall be applied to time off work in an amount which, when added to Workers’ Compensation benefits (paid or payable), provides compensation equal to the employee’s base wages or salary. Upon the exhaustion of accumulated sick leave, vacation, floating holidays and other accrued leaves shall be applied in the same manner. If an employee receives Workers’ Compensation payments which, when added to the sums paid or payable pursuant to the above provisions, exceed the employee’s base wages or salary for the period of absence, the employee shall repay the Agency the amount of such excess whereupon the Agency will adjust the employee’s accrued leave balance accordingly. If the employee fails to repay the Agency within thirty (30) days of a written request therefore, any further amounts payable under this Section shall be reduced by the amount of such unpaid excess payment(s). On the Job Injury/Illness leave shall run concurrent with Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) time. In accordance with the FMLA, the Agency shall pay for medical and dental premiums for the first three (3) months of the leave in the same amount paid on behalf of the employee while at work.
On-the-Job Injury/Illness. If any employee of this bargaining unit receives an injury/illness on the job that results in a permanent disability prohibiting the employee from performing his/her duties as a police officer, then the officer will be eligible for a disability benefit as provided for in the Pension Ordinance. Included in the benefit available to the employee will be eligibility for retirement at 60% of his/her average monthly compensation for the employee's last twelve (12) months of employment (for employees hired prior to July 1, 1978), or the average of the employee's last three (3) years of employment (employees hired July 1, 1978 and after) or his/her Accrued Benefit as of the date of such disability, whichever is the greater. It is also agreed that the cost of necessary hospital, doctor's care, prescriptions and job related medical expenses will be paid by the City for all on-the-job injuries/illnesses, provided that the employee will assign to the City those recoveries from any third party only to the extent necessary to reimburse the City for expenses paid. This assignment will exclude the proceeds from any insurance policy solely paid for by the employee. Hospital semi-private room rate coverage will be provided. However, if in the professional opinion of the duly qualified attending physician, the medical welfare of the employee clearly dictates the requirements of a private room, the cost of the private room rate will be paid by the City only for the duration of such requirement. The City reserves the right to confirm the requirement and the duration period with the above noted attending physician or a physician selected by the City. Private room costs will not be paid by the City if such accommodations are for the employee's convenience. In hospital facilities where both private and semi- private rooms exist, the City will pay private room rates when no semi-private room is available. The City reserves the right to investigate, confirm and affect conditions related to this provision. An employee will receive full salary so long as there is medical documentation from the physician of record that it is medically necessary for the employee to remain off work due to the on-the-job injury or illness for a maximum period of six (6) calendar months plus up to six (6) additional calendar months at the Division Director's authorization upon medical documentation as submitted by the employee's attending physician and/or a physician selected by the City.
