For Non-Exempt employees, the total received will equal what the employee would have received at his/her basic hourly rate for scheduled work time aggregating not in excess of seven hundred twenty (720) hours for each disability. For Exempt employees, the total received will equal what the employee would normally have received, for such period of time as in the judgment of the Contractor is deemed advisable, though not in excess of six (6) calendar months in any one (1) calendar year or for any one period of disability, or in excess of the total time actually worked prior to the time at which the leave is granted.

Occupational Disability Leave. An employee who is unable to perform his work at the Laboratory due to an accidental injury or occupational illness arising out of and in the course of his employment at the Laboratory will be granted occupational disability leave as hereinafter provided, unless such injury is purposely self- inflicted, or is due to his willful misconduct, willful violation of plant rules or willful failure to use safety appliances. An employee absent from his work because of such occupational disability may be entitled to benefits under the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act or the Illinois Occupational Diseases Act. The Laboratory will supplement any payments under these laws so that the total received will equal what the employee would have received at his basic hourly rate for scheduled work time, not to exceed eight (8) hours per day or forty (40) hours per week, for an aggregate number of hours not in excess of one thousand and forty (1040) hours. In order to receive payment under this Section 12.1, an employee must satisfy the conditions of eligibility in Section 12.4. The combined payment under this Section 12.1 and any benefits to which the employee may be entitled under the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act or the Illinois Occupational Diseases Act shall not exceed what the employee would have received if he had actually worked his scheduled hours.
Occupational Disability Leave. An employee who sustains a work related accident, injury, or occupational illness which arises out of the nature and scope of his employment, and which is deemed compensable under the provisions of Florida's Workers' Compensation Law, shall have his claim filed as provided by law, provided such accident, injury or occupational illness is not caused by the negligence of the employee. An employee who sustains a Workers' Compensation injury which results in lost time up to and including seven (7) calendar days following the date of injury shall be in a full-pay status for the seven (7) day period, with no time charged against accrued leave balances. Any wage reimbursement from the workers' compensation insurance company shall be credited to the City to offset the one hundred percent (100%) wage payment provided by the City during the first seven (7) days of temporary, total disability. In the event that the period of temporary, total disability exceeds seven (7) calendar days, the employee may elect to use, in addition to the sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of wage compensation paid in accordance with workers' compensation law, accumulated sick leave or vacation balance in a prorated amount in order to equal one hundred percent (100%) of the gross base salary received prior to the date of injury. If it is determined that a law enforcement officer is maliciously or intentionally injured on-the-job, as defined in FS 440.15(11), full-pay status shall be granted. Such full-pay status shall be granted only after submittal to the City of current medical verification of the law enforcement officer's temporary, total disability and a prognosis indicating recovery and ability to return to work. Under no circumstances shall any combination of Workers' Compensation wage benefits and City leave benefits exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the employee's base salary, prior to the date of the injury. If, at any time, in the opinion of the Police Chief, as supported by medical evidence, the employee is capable of performing light duty, he may be assigned to a different job within the Law Enforcement department, until he is capable of returning to full-time duty.
