INJURY LEAVE POLICY. A. The Director of Public Safety shall pay to any employee who may be injured or disabled while in the discharge of his official duties, his full regular salary for a period of one (1) year or such part thereof, for the duration of the disability up to three (3) years from the date of the injury provided that such injury or disability occurs while responding to, or acting at a call whether actual or false or while performing at a training session, provided the injury is a direct result of training. In addition to the above provisions, employees are eligible for injury leave provided that the injury or disability occurs in the course of duty under circumstances which entail a substantially different and greater risk of injury. Such injured or disabled employee shall perform some other service other than his regular duties if he is physically able. The Director of Public Safety is authorized to provide such other opportunity for service whenever it is possible to do so. In no event, however, shall the salary paid for such other service, together with the salary allowed under this section for disability, exceed the full regular salary such employee was receiving at the time such injury or disability occurred. In the event the individual employee is injured or disabled as provided in this section, there shall be no reduction from that individual employee’s sick leave.
