Leave Available. Leave taken under the industrial accident or illness disability policy set forth in this Article runs concurrently with family care and medical leave under both federal and state law. Eligible permanent classified employees who suffer an industrial accident or illness on the job are entitled to sixty (60) days of leave at full salary less the amount of temporary disability payments provided by Workers’ Compensation. Consequently, an eligible employee may take a combination industrial accident or illness disability/family care and medical leave for a maximum of twelve (12) work weeks of family care and medical leave. The sixty (60) days of industrial accident disability leave shall be deducted from the twelve (12) work weeks of family care and medical leave. All such payments of salary will be coordinated with any state disability Workers’ Compensation or other wage reimbursement benefits for which employees may be eligible. At no time shall an employee receive a greater total payment than the employee’s regular salary. Upon termination of the sixty (60) days industrial accident or illness leave, an employee may elect, or the District may require the employee, to use accumulated sick leave or extended sick leave to compensate the employee for the difference in pay between the workers’ compensation temporary disability payments and the employee’s regular salary. At no time shall the employee receive more than his or her full salary. In the event the employee elects or is required to use sick leave, the accumulated sick leave shall be used first. After the accumulated sick leave is exhausted, the employee must use any available extended sick leave during the remaining period of the industrial accident or illness leave/family care and medical leave. When an employee has exhausted all available paid leaves, he or she shall be notified, in writing, of the depletion of the leave. The employee shall be offered the opportunity to request additional unpaid leave within five (5) days of the mailing of such notification.
