WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CLAIM/INSURANCE. An employee absent due to injury on the job shall be entitled to keep any workers’ compensation check to which he or she is entitled under the Workers’ Compensation law and also receives the difference between the check and full pay from the School District, less applicable deductions. An employee shall be eligible to receive the pay in addition to the worker’s compensation only for so long as the employee has sick leave available, and shall be charged one-third (1/3rd) of a day of sick leave for each day absent. An employee may alternatively choose to receive full pay, with a proportionate sick leave deduction, as long as sick leave is available and on the condition that any worker’s compensation checks payable for the period during which sick leave is used are endorsed to the District. It is the intention of this Section to afford employees not more than full pay by way of sick leave and worker’s compensation benefits for injuries on the job.
