Disability Payment. In case of work incapacitating injury or illness for which an employee is, or may be eligible for work disability benefits under the Michigan Worker's Compensation Law, such employee shall be allowed salary payment, which, with his/her work disability benefit, equals his/her regular salary or wage. Board paid insurance premiums and other board paid benefits for individuals receiving worker's compensation benefits will be limited to not exceed one year commencing with the beginning of the 2001-2002 school year. Sick leave shall be utilized to the extent of the difference as permitted between such payment and the employee's regular salary or wage. Upon exhaustion of sick leave accumulation the differential payment shall be discontinued. When a doctor releases an employee to return to work, the employee will be reinstated as soon as possible.
