Compensation Integration. An employee may charge his/her sick leave account, or other accrued paid leave if his/her sick leave balance is exhausted, for the difference between any compensation received from the Workers’ Compensation Insurance and the employees’ normal pay. The calculation shall be based on the difference between the employee’s pay period compensation (rate times pay period hours) minus the benefits from Workers’ Compensation. Employees shall use accrued sick leave or other accrued leave for the first three (3) day waiting period for Time Loss benefits and for time off related to associated medical or dental appointments. a. To ensure that the employee receives prompt and regular payment during periods of industrial injury or occupational illness, the employee will be placed on paid sick leave as long as accrued sick leave is available. If the employee has exhausted his/her sick leave, he/she will be placed on unpaid leave of absence or may elect to use accrued vacation or floating holiday leave or Comp Time. b. The County shall continue to provide the employer contribution for medical and dental benefits for an employee with a compensable claim and his or her dependent(s) from the first (1st) day of occupational disability, until such time as the employee is deemed unable to return to work.
