Workers' Compensation and Leave. 1. An employee shall not, through a combination of temporary disability indemnity payments and paid sick leave, or injury leave, receive payment in excess of his or her wage rate. The amount paid for such leaves shall be decreased by the amount of any temporary disability for the same period to which the employee is or may be entitled under Workers' Compensation. 2. If an employee has received his or her wage rate as paid sick leave, and temporary disability back payments covering the same period are made to the employee, then the employee shall be liable to the County for the amount that the combination of such back payments and sick leave exceeds the employee's wage rate. The County may deduct from any future payments it makes to such employee an amount equal to the total of such excess payment. Insofar as practical, such deduction shall be done by a method that will not cause undue hardship to the employee. To the extent that such deductions represent compensation for sick leave used, the employee's sick leave balance shall be restored. 3. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the employee's entitlement to medical, surgical and hospital treatment or temporary disability indemnity benefits under Workers' Compensation.
