1. In the event an employee is absent from work due to a service-connected disability, approved pursuant to NRS Chapter 616 or 617, he/she may receive, in addition to the compensation as provided by NRS Chapter 616 or 617, a supplemental amount from the County which would cause the total amount received by the employee from the service-connected disability and the County to equal his/her salary at the time of his/her disability.
