INJURY LEAVE. A. In the event of an alleged service-connected occupational illness or injury, an employee may, after filing a claim application for weekly disability benefits with the Industrial Commission of Ohio, elect in writing not to utilize any accumulated sick leave benefits. In addition, such employee may elect to use any portion of his/her sick leave accumulation for as many days per week as he/she so chooses pending receipt of Workers' Compensation benefits. In the event the employee does not make any election hereunder, there will be a charge against the sick leave credits of the affected employee only to the extent necessary to provide the employee with full pay, so that when the employee is receiving Workers' Compensation benefits, he/she will only be charged on a pro rata basis, the difference in pay between the Workers' Compensation benefits and the employee's regular compensation. This will be accomplished by the employee presenting the check received from the Bureau of Workers' Compensation to the Treasurer of the EMPLOYER. Should any employee use any of his/her sick leave accumulation from the time of the injury to the date of the allowance by the Industrial Commission or any pro rata supplement, any such sick leave attributed to the allowed service-connected injury may be bought back by repayment to the EMPLOYER on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

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.

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.
