Work-Related Disability Leave. Definition. Work-Related Disability Leave is unpaid leave provided to an employee on Workers’ Compensation Temporary Disability Benefits for a period of up to six (6) months per injury for the purpose of recovering from, and receiving treatment for, a work-related disability. Work-related Disability Leave shall run concurrently with Family Medical Leave if the purpose for the leave qualifies under the Family and Medical Leave Act and/or the California Family Rights Act. An employee is eligible for only one six-month period of leave for any one injury or illness. The provisions of this section are not intended to conflict with and are subject to applicable state and federal disability-related regulations and procedures including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Employment and Housing Act.

Work-Related Disability Leave. The Employer shall grant a leave of absence to an employee who is unable to work due to a work-related injury. During the leave, all health and welfare benefits shall continue for up to one (1) year or to the date that the employee is deemed to be permanent and stationary, whichever occurs earlier. The Employer shall make every reasonable effort to assist the employee and return him/her to work after a work-related injury, including an offer of modified (light) duty for at least ninety (90) days, return to the employee’s former position upon release for work, or re-training to an available position with the Employer if the employee is no longer able to perform the work of his/her former position. Employees returning from work-related disability leave shall be entitled to reinstatement to the same position, classification, unit, and shift as held by the employee at the commencement of the leave. If conditions have changed so that this is not possible, the employee shall be reinstated in a position, unit, and shift as nearly comparable as is possible under the circumstances. An employee who, because of a work-related injury, is medically determined to be permanently disabled and unable to return to his/her former position shall be entitled to any vacant position for which he/she is then qualified. If all other options have been exhausted and an employee is medically determined to be permanently disabled and is unable to return to his/her former position even with reasonable accommodations under the ADA or to any vacant position for which he/she may be qualified, such employee may be replaced.
Work-Related Disability Leave. Employees with District work-related injuries or illnesses, as evidenced by acceptance of their claim by and receipt of payments from the District's workers' compensation insurance carrier, shall be paid the difference between their regular pay and the amount of such workers' compensation insurance payments by the District. Such District payments may not exceed ninety (90) cumulative days in any 12-month period for any single injury or illness. Employees will not receive overtime pay for workers’ compensation appointments that extend beyond their normal work hours. Such payments by the District shall continue until such employee returns to work or qualifies through the expiration of the 3- month elimination period associated with the District's Long-Term Disability Program, whichever occurs first. In the event such 3-month elimination period for the District's Long Term Disability Program expires and the employee is still unable to return to work, such payments by the District shall cease and the employee shall begin receiving benefits under the District's Long-Term Disability Insurance Program. During the time an employee is not receiving a District payroll check, contributions to PERS and EMWD 401(a) program will cease until employee is back on the District’s payroll. The payments made by the District under this Section shall be in addition to all other PTO leave benefits provided by the District. Accordingly, such payments hereunder shall not be charged against employee's PTO balance. There shall be no accrual of PTO credit during the time such employee is receiving leave benefits under this Section or recurring benefits under the District's Long-Term Disability Insurance Program. The net amount of the leave payments which the employee will receive from the District pursuant to this Section shall be the employee's regular salary less: (1) the amount of workers' compensation insurance payment received; (2) mandatory payroll deduction including Federal and State withholding tax, CalPERS contributions; and (3) payroll deductions which the employee has previously authorized in writing. When an employee, who becomes disabled as a result of a District work-related injury or illness, begins receiving benefits under the District's Long-Term Disability Insurance Program, they shall be placed on Long-Term Disability Leave.
