Injury Compensation. If an employee eligible to receive sick leave is injured in the course of employment and receives disability benefits under Worker’s Compensation, the employee shall receive from Decatur Public School District #61 the difference between the Worker’s Compensation benefit and the wages or salary to which the employee is entitled under the Decatur Public School District #61 leave program. The accumulated sick leave of the employee shall be reduced proportionately based upon the compensation remitted by the Decatur Public School District #61. Pro-rated sick leave shall be available to the employee only to the extent that an employee has accumulated sick leave days, so that an employee shall receive full pay upon days which an employee is unable to work due to work-related injury or illness, but in no instance will an employee be entitled to a combination of sick leave benefits and Worker’s Compensation benefits in excess of the employee’s regular pay. In no event will an employee be entitled to sick leave benefits beyond the accumulation of sick leave days of that employee. An employee on Worker’s Compensation may waive sick leave pay, in which case the employee shall not be charged with sick leave use.
