Section 52.2 COP is the continuation of full hourly wages and benefits.

Time authorized under COP is considered time worked for employees still in their probationary period, if any. COP must be recorded using the appropriate payroll codes which the Treasurer shall provide for salaried and hourly employees. Payroll clerks shall properly code COP when paid. An employee continues to accrue sick leave while on COP if they would have otherwise accrued such leaves.
3. Payments are made only for periods the employee would have been eligible for temporary total workers’ compensation benefits for injuries and will be terminated when the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation or the Industrial Commission has determined the employee has reached maximum medical improvement, when an offer of transitional duty has been made by the District and declined by the employee, or when determined by the Board per section 52.1 of this article.
