- Xxxxxxx’x Compensation - C and M. An employee who is receiving Workers’ Compensation benefits shall be paid at the rate provided for in the Workers’ Compensation Act. During the waiting period after an employee applies for Workers’ Compensation, and while eligibility is being determined, the Board shall pay the employee’s regular weekly wages and charge this period of time to sick leave, so long as such sick leave exists in the employee’s sick leave account. In the event an employee does not have any accrued sick leave, he/she may borrow against future accrued leave and his/her future accrued leave will be reduced accordingly. If subsequently a determination is made that the employee is eligible for Workers’ Compensation, the Board will be reimbursed by the employee from the proceeds of the Workers’ Compensation and an adjustment will be made to the employee’s sick leave account. Employees injured in the course of their official duties and in the performance of their work when such injury is compensable under Workers’ Compensation laws shall not be charged for sick leave while receiving Workers’ Compensation.
