Labor and Industries, Industrial Injury or Illness Clause Samples

Labor and Industries, Industrial Injury or Illness. Employees suffering illness or injury compensable under the District’s self-insured industrial insurance shall be allowed to use general leave to the amount of their earned credit less any industrial insurance payments for which they are eligible. General leave charged to the employee shall be proportionate to that portion of the employee’s salary paid by the leave. The combined insurance and leave payments shall not total more than the employee’s usual base pay. Any overpayments shall be returned to the District by the employee. Employees shall be allowed leave with compensation for illness or injury up to the amount of their earned credits under the following conditions: a) During an illness or injury which has incapacitated the employee from performing their duties. b) During the infectious period following the exposure of an employee to a contagious disease during which their attendance on duty would jeopardize the health of fellow employees or the public. c) For the purpose of medical, dental, or optical appointments if arranged in advance with the immediate supervisor. In the case of absence for illness or injury, the use of general leave shall be limited to the hours of an employee’s base assignment. However, when such illness or injury results in an employee being absent for five (5) consecutive days or more, the employee may use the average number of hours per day worked in the previous pay period to calculate the hours of sick leave to be used.
