WORKERS' COMPENSATION ON-THE-JOB INJURY. Any employee who is eligible for workers' compensation benefits will receive, in addition to the workers' compensation benefits, an amount to be deducted from his/her sick leave sufficient to make up the difference between the workers' compensation benefits and his/her regular weekly income, except that such payment shall not be made, nor shall sick leave be deducted, if the employee so requests. This shall continue only until sick leave is exhausted. It is understood that the sum of the workers' compensation benefits and sick leave shall not exceed the amount of his/her regular weekly income. It is further agreed, for purposes of Section 354 of the Workers' Disability Compensation Act, that the exchange of a sick day (or part thereof) in return for the payment of a salary differential by the school district, constitutes a direct contribution to this plan by the employee. Should said contribution by an employee be held by any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction to be an "offset" under Section 354(b) of the Workers' Disability Compensation Act against benefits to be received by said employee under the Act, the Board shall not be required to pay the additional wage amounts charged to the employee's accumulated sick leave as provided for above.
