Industrial Accident Leave Each classified employee shall be eligible for industrial accident and illness leaves of absence. Such accident or illness must have arisen out of and in the course of the employment of the employee and must be accepted as a bona fide injury or illness arising out of and in the course of employment by either the State Compensation Insurance Fund of the Industrial Accident Commission. Employees shall notify the Human Resource Office within twenty-four (24) hours when an injury or illness occurs arising out of and in the course of employment. Allowable leave for each accident or illness shall be for a period of not more than sixty (60) days. Such leave shall not be accumulative from year to year. Industrial accident or illness leave shall commence on the first day of absence. Should the leave overlap into the next fiscal year, the employee shall be entitled to only the amount of unused leave due him for the same illness or injury. The leave shall be reduced by one (1) day for each day of authorized absence regardless of a temporary disability indemnity award. During any paid leave of absence, the employee shall be paid the salary due him for any month in which the absence occurs. While on paid industrial accident or illness leave, the employee shall endorse to the District the temporary disability indemnity checks received. The District, in turn, shall issue the employee appropriate salary warrants and deduct there from normal retirement and other authorized deductions. Upon termination of the leave, the employee shall be entitled to the benefits provided for sick leave by law, and his absence for such purpose shall be deemed to have commenced on the date of termination of the industrial accident or illness leave. If the employee continues to receive temporary disability indemnity, he may elect to take as much of his accumulated sick leave which, when added to his temporary disability indemnity, will result in a payment to him of not more than his full salary. Any employee receiving benefits under these rules and regulations shall, during the period of illness or injury, remain within the State of California unless the Board authorizes travel outside the state. Periods of leave of absence, paid or unpaid, shall not be considered to be a break in service. Any time an employee on industrial accident or illness leave is able to return to work he shall be reinstated in his position (without loss of pay or benefits).
