SICK LEAVE FOR INJURED EMPLOYEES. The Board shall make available additional sick leave up to three days which is to be available for any NESPA employee to use in the event an employee is physically injured by a student at school during work hours. In order for an employee to access additional sick leave, the employee is required to report to the school nurse's office and complete an accident report. Further, the employee must visit a doctor of the employee's choice and secure a note from the doctor verifying the employee's injury claim. The purpose of this section is to provide paid sick leave for injuries resulting from student actions that do not require three work days of absence from employment - the normal waiting period under Worker's Compensation regulations. Use of such additional sick leave shall not be deducted from the employee's personal sick leave accumulation. In the event a Worker's Compensation claim is filed and sustained in relation to the incident, and if the employee receives reimbursement from the first day of injury from Worker's Compensation, the employee shall be required to repay the employer for any monies received under this provision. Under no circumstances may an employee receive more than three (3) days of additional sick leave for any one occurrence covered by this section.
