Job-Related Injury. An employee who is injured while performing his/her assigned duties for the County shall immediately report the injury to his/her immediate supervisor and the Sheriff. In the case of an incapacitating injury, the report shall be submitted as soon as the employee is able to supply the necessary information. An employee who is injured while performing his/her assigned duties and is determined to be eligible for benefits under the Iowa Worker's Compensation Act, will receive his/her normal pay for the first three (3) work days of authorized absence following the injury. Thereafter an employee may elect to use accrued sick leave in an amount necessary to offset the difference in pay between worker's compensation benefits and the employee's normal pay. Provided, in no event will an employee receive a combination of worker's compensation benefits and sick leave pay in excess of his/her normal pay. The County will continue its contribution for health and life insurance benefits during any period in which an employee is receiving worker's compensation benefits due to a County work- related injury.
