Paid Injury Leave. Leave granted for an injury suffered in the direct performance of firefighting or EMS duties on behalf of the Employer, which is not deducted from the employee’s sick leave balance. The phrase, “injury suffered in the direct performance of firefighting or EMS duties,” is not intended to cover all injuries that may occur while working for the Employer; but only those injuries resulting from the heightened risks inherent in firefighting or EMS work. An employee who injures his/herself while getting in or out of a vehicle or who suffers an injury while performing routine tasks around the fire station, or other duties not involving fighting a fire, administering emergency medical services, or rescuing an individual from a fire or other imminent danger, may be eligible for sick leave or workers’ compensation, but not for injury leave.
