Work-Related Injury Leave. A. A COACH who sustains a work-related injury as the result of which the COACH is disabled, if so determined by a decision issued under the operation of the Workers’ Compensation Insurance program, shall be entitled to work-related disability leave. Work- related disability leave is a leave of absence for which the COACH will be paid full pay reduced by an amount that yields a net pay, including Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability Benefits, that is equal to the COACH’S net pay immediately prior to the injury. Net pay prior to injury is defined as gross base pay minus federal, state, and local withholding and Social Security and retirement contributions. Work-related disability leave shall be payable for an aggregate of twelve (12) months or for the duration of the disability, whichever is the lesser. In no case, however, will the aggregate of twelve (12) months extend beyond three (3) years from the date the injury occurred.
