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.

Assault Leave Notwithstanding the provision of Section 3319.141 of the Ohio Revised Code, the employer will grant assault leave to cover employee absence due to disability resulting from assault under the following conditions. Any certified teacher who must be absent from his or her duties due to disability resulting from an assault which occurs in the course of an employee's Board employment, on or off school premises before, during or after school hours will be paid his or her full scheduled compensation for a maximum period of thirty (30) days. If permanently disabled, the teacher must apply for disability retirement and no assault leave shall be granted after such retirement has been approved. The period of such absence, as defined in this provision, shall be termed "assault leave." Before assault leave can be approved, the teacher shall furnish to the superintendent a written, signed statement describing the circumstances and events surrounding the assault, and the cause thereof, including the location and time of the assault, name and address of victims and witnesses and a description of the injuries sustained by each victim of the assault, unless physically impossible to do so. If medical attention is required or sought, the teacher shall also furnish to the Superintendent a statement of the nature of the disability and its duration, which has been signed by a physician licensed in the State of Ohio. Falsification of either the written, signed statement of the events or circumstances surrounding the assault, or the physician's statement shall be grounds for suspension or termination of employment under 3319.16 O.R.C. Assault leave, which is approved by the Superintendent, shall not be charged against sick leave earned or earnable by the teacher on leave granted under regulations adopted by the Board, pursuant to 3319.08 O.R.C. or any other leave to which the teacher is entitled. Assault leave benefits shall not be paid if Workers' Compensation benefits are paid to the teacher.

For up to one year from the termination of said proclamation, impacted employees may use up to 320 hours of donated leave. Such donated time will not exceed the total amount of time lost by the receiving employee including vacation, compensatory time used and any unpaid leave incurred. Unused donated time at the expiration of the leave provision period will be returned to the donor.
