Work Related Injury Leave/Assault Leave. A. In the event of a work connected occupational illness or injury, as determined by the Industrial Commission, there will be a charge against the sick leave credits of the affected employee only to the extent necessary to provide the employee with full pay, so that when the employee is receiving Workers' Compensation benefits the employee will only be charged on a pro-rata basis, the difference in pay between the Workers' Compensation benefits and the employee's regular compensation. This will be accomplished by the employee presenting the check received from the Bureau of Workers' Compensation to the Treasurer of the EMPLOYER. B. Any employee absent from work because of any service connected occupational illness or injury, as determined by the Industrial Commission, shall be entitled to reinstatement at the same rate of pay received immediately prior to the date of such illness or injury, upon approval of the employee's application to return to work. Such application will be made within one (1) year following the date of the exhaustion of the employee's injury leave and sick leave. This period may be extended with the approval of the BOARD and upon advice of the Industrial Commission physician. C. In the event an employee receives a service connected occupational illness or injury in the course of employment with the EMPLOYER, as determined by the Industrial Commission, leave of absence may be granted by the SUPERINTENDENT for a period of up to ninety (90) calendar days after the exhaustion of accumulated sick leave. In cases of such granted leave of absence, if compensation payments are being received from the Bureau of Workers' Compensation, the EMPLOYER will only pay the difference between compensation received and the employee's regular salary. In the event there is no full recovery within said ninety (90) calendar day period, the matter shall be referred to the EMPLOYER again for consideration. Leaves granted under this section are to be automatically terminated if the employee accepts or applies for employment with an employer other than the EMPLOYER.
