INJURY LEAVE. In the event an unusual circumstance exists regarding the original six (6) months of injury leave, and the employee did not use injury leave hours due to the injury or did not lose work time, the Fire Chief with the approval of the Human Resources Director may extend such injury leave. However, under no circumstances shall the total time granted be greater than twelve (12) months of injury leave, or an actual six (6) months of lost work time because of the injury.
INJURY LEAVE. A. Each employee who incurs an injury or illness which is covered under the Connecticut Workers' Compensation Act shall be entitled to injury leave pay equal to the difference between the compensation received pursuant to said Act and his/her normal base rate of pay for the number of days of necessary absences up to a maximum of one month following the date of injury. An employee may supplement his/her workers' compensation payments by using sick leave in no less than one half-day increment to maintain his/her salary at the same level prior to the injury.
INJURY LEAVE. Injury leave is paid leave granted to a biweekly employee while unable to perform his or her job duties because of a job-related injury, entitled to Workers' Compensation temporary total disability benefits, and is not ineligible under one or more conditions listed in Section 5.A herein. Injury leave compensation shall equal the difference between seventy-five percent (75%) of employee's wage rate and employee's Workers' Compensation temporary total disability indemnity. The appointing authority shall provide release time to allow an employee to attend follow-up medical appointments for accepted work related injuries.
INJURY LEAVE. Leave with pay shall be granted to permanent employees for injuries occurring while on the job if such injuries arise out of the scope of employment, in accordance with the following:
INJURY LEAVE. All employees who are disabled as a result of a job-related injury or disease, which is deemed compensable by Worker’s Compensation, may be granted injury leave not to exceed five of the employee’s normal working shifts for any particular injury. A working shift is counted even if an employee is absent for any portion of their assigned shift. Disabled shall mean unable to perform the essential functions usually encountered in one’s employment due either to an injury/disease or to treatment for an injury/disease.
INJURY LEAVE. Any employee who is injured in the performance of his duties shall receive the difference between his regular pay and the Worker's Compensation payment for a period not to exceed ten (10) working days. Failure to immediately report an accident which may result in injury may cause forfeiture of the additional benefit. Such injury leave shall not be deducted from vacation or sick leave credits.
INJURY LEAVE. Employees are entitled to receive injury leave for on-the-job injuries, in accordance with the conditions and limitations set forth in this article. Such leave shall be in addition to all other leaves provided in this agreement.
INJURY LEAVE. Injury leave, as distinguished from sick leave, shall mean leave with pay given to an employee due to absence from duty due to an accident or injury that occurred while the employee was engaged in the performance of his or her duties. Injuries arising out of an accident in the course of employment and while engaged in the performance of one's duties shall be reported immediately by the employee to his supervisor who shall make a full report on an Accident Report and Investigation Form to the Human Resources Director. Receipt of this report shall be a condition of payment of injury leave benefits. No payments shall be made if the accident or injury shall have been due to intoxication or willful misconduct on the part of the employee. In the event that an employee covered by this Agreement is injured while at work and, as a consequence of said injury, receives Workers' Compensation disability pay, said employee shall receive Workers' Compensation and supplemental pay so that the employee shall be compensated at the employee's regular rate of pay prior to such injury or disease for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months. At the end of said twelve (12) months, such supplemental benefits shall cease. In the case of injuries causing temporary disability for periods of time less than seven (7) days which are not wholly compensable under the Workers' Compensation insurance, the Town shall pay the employee's regular salary during the period of such absence. Lost time under injury leave shall not be charged to vacation or sick leave accruals. All employees shall continue to accrue seniority while on injury leave. It is recognized that the Town has a need to be informed of the status of an employee who is absent due to an injury compensable under worker's compensation. Therefore, the employee will comply with reasonable requests for reporting to his supervisor during any such period of absence.
INJURY LEAVE. The Union and the City of Tulsa recognize the necessity of maintaining a uniform policy and procedure for administering injury leave within the City of Tulsa. The reporting of injuries is for the protection of the employee and the City. The City’s Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual (P.P.M.) Injury Leave Policy shall be used for administering the injury leave benefit under this Agreement.
INJURY LEAVE. Section 16.1 The Lodge and the City of Tulsa recognize the necessity of maintaining a policy and procedure for administering Injury Leave within the City of Tulsa. The guidelines provided in the Tulsa Police Department Policy and Procedure Manual shall be used for administering injury leave under this agreement. It is the policy of the Employer to provide compensation and leave time for Employees who incur disabilities in accordance with State Statute Title 11 Section 50-116 et. seq. and/or Workers’ Compensation Title 85A.
