Common use of Salary Continuance Plan Clause in Contracts

Salary Continuance Plan. It shall be the general policy of the District to continue pay to an employee under the Salary Continuance Plan when an employee incurs a work-related injury or illness. This plan commences if the employee qualifies for temporary disability payments from Worker's Compensation for the disability and, if in the opinion of the District, the disability is work-related. If the injury or illness is determined legitimate, all of the employee's regular benefits will continue during the time this plan is in effect. The salary continuance will be equivalent to seventy (70%) percent of gross compensation less any Worker's Compensation payments. The maximum period for which this plan could be used by an employee will be six (6) months or until a stable level of disability is reached, whichever occurs first. The District's policy for charging sick leave for work-incurred injuries or illnesses shall be as follows: An employee requiring medical attention for a work-incurred injury or illness will not be required to charge the portion of time spent on the day of the injury receiving medical care to his/her sick leave record. After the doctor has released the employee from his office, any additional time off on that day will be charged to the employee's sick leave account. Employees shall be allowed paid release time of up to three (3) hours for work-related injury doctor and/or physical therapy appointments which shall include thirty (30) minutes of drive time to and from the appointment. The first day of the three-day waiting period required by the State Compensation Insurance Fund begins the day following the date on which the injury or illness occurred. District Salary Continuance Plan benefits shall begin on the same day as State Compensation benefits commence. However, if the injury or illness causes disability of more than fourteen (14) days or necessitates hospitalization, the Salary Continuance Plan will become effective from the first day the injured employee leaves work as a result of the injury or illness. The employee may use vacation or sick leave accrual or earned overtime during this waiting period. Sick Leave Current regular or probationary employees earn twelve (12) days sick leave per year. Sick leave is to be used only in case of real sickness, disability, medical, or dental care for the employee, or up to ten (10) days annually may be used to attend to health needs of an immediate family member. If all accumulated sick leave is used, earned vacation time may be used as sick leave in order to receive full regular pay.
