Industrial Accident and Illness Leave For accidents or illnesses that are job- incurred, unit members shall be provided leave benefits under the following provisions: 12.6.1 Allowable leave shall be sixty (60) days during which the colleges of the District are required to be in session or when the unit member would otherwise have been performing work for the District in any one fiscal year for the same accident. 12.6.2 Allowable leave shall not be accumulated from year to year. 12.6.3 Industrial accident or illness leave shall commence on the first (1st) day of absence. 12.6.4 When a faculty member is absent from his/her duties on account of an industrial accident or illness, he/she shall be paid such portion of the salary due him/her for any month in which the absence occurs as, when added to his/her temporary disability indemnity under Division 4 or Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 6100) of the Labor Code, will result in a payment to him/her of not more than his/her full salary. The phrase, "full salary," as utilized in this section, shall be computed so that it shall not be less than the unit member's "average weekly earnings" as that phrase is utilized in Section 4453 of the Labor Code. For purposes of this section, however, the maximum and minimum average weekly earnings set forth in Section 4453 of the Labor Code shall otherwise not be deemed applicable. 12.6.5 Industrial accident or illness leave shall be reduced by one (1) day for each day of authorized absence regardless of a temporary disability indemnity award. 12.6.6 When an industrial accident or illness leave overlaps into the next fiscal year, the unit member shall be entitled to only the amount of unused industrial accident or illness leave due him/her for the same illness or injury. 12.6.7 Upon termination of the industrial accident or illness leave, the unit member shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Education Code Sections 87780, 87781 and 87786, and for the purposes of each of these sections his/her absence shall be deemed to have commenced on the date of termination for the industrial accident or illness leave, provided that if the unit member continues to receive temporary dis- ability indemnity, he/she may elect to take as much of his/her accumulated sick leave which, when added to his/her temporary disability indemnity, will result in a payment to him/her of not more than his/her full salary. 12.6.8 During any paid leave of absence, the unit member may endorse to the District the temporary disability indemnity checks received on account of his/her industrial accident or illness. The District, in turn, shall issue the unit member appropriate salary warrants for payment of the unit member's salary, and shall deduct normal retirement, other authorized contributions, and the temporary disability indemnity, if any, actually paid to, and retained by, the employee for periods covered by such salary warrants. 12.6.9 Any unit member receiving benefits as a result of this section shall, during periods of injury or illness, remain within the State of California, unless the Governing Board authorizes travel outside the state. 12.6.10 When all available leaves of absence have been exhausted and the unit member is not medically able to return to all the duties of his/her prior assignment, the District shall provide first (1st) priority in assigning such a person into classes where his/her disability, in the discretion of the District, does not hinder the performance of the duties required of him/her if he/she is otherwise qualified. With mutual agreement with the unit member, the District may also assign an employee into a position that can reasonably accommodate his/her performance of duties required by the position, despite his/her disability, prior to the exhaustion of leave of absence.
Parenting Leave Parenting Leave consists of Maternity Leave and Parental Leave. Parental Leave includes Paternity and Adoption Leave.
Family Medical Leave (a) An employee is entitled to family medical leave in accordance with the provisions of the Employment Standards Act. (b) An employee who is on Family Medical Leave shall continue to accumulate seniority and service and the Home will continue to pay its share of the premiums of the subsidized employee benefits, including pension (if permitted by the Plan and matched by the employee) in which the employee is participating during the leave. (c) Subject to any changes in an employee’s status which would have occurred had he or she not been on Family Medical Leave, the employee shall be reinstated to her former position.
Assault Leave Any member of the bargaining unit employed by the Board assaulted by a student currently enrolled in the district or assaulted by any person except an employee of the Board while in the course of such teacher's employment, and such teacher is temporarily disabled by any injury resulting from such assault, shall remain on the payroll as a regular employee and shall receive all benefits as if on sick leave on such terms and conditions as hereinafter provided. For the first seven (7) days that the eligible employee, as hereinafter defined, is forced to miss because of his/her work related injury which Xxxxxx's Compensation does not cover, the Board will continue the employee's salary without charge to his/her sick leave chargeable as assault leave. To be eligible for assault leave, the certificated employee shall apply for and be granted Workers' Compensation. If Workers' Compensation benefits are paid, the Board shall pay to such employee the difference between the benefits received from Workers' Compensation and the employee's regular salary. For those days that compensation is made to the injured employee by the Bureau of Workers' Compensation, there shall be no deduction from the accumulated sick leave of the employee. Assault leave as provided herein shall not exceed more than thirty (30) days, and shall terminate at such time Workers' Compensation benefits are terminated, whichever first occurs. Except as otherwise approved by the Superintendent, any teacher receiving assault leave shall file a complaint with the appropriate law enforcement agency against the assailant. The Board shall pay, not to exceed $250.00, for damages sustained to the personal property of a member of the bargaining unit directly arising out of an assault as defined herein provided such employee has applied for and been refused reimbursement under any existing insurance coverage and has been unsuccessful in the recovery of such damages in any legal proceeding in which he/she has a claim.
