Compensable Work-Related Injury or Illness Leave An employee who sustains a work-related illness or injury that is compensable under the state workers’ compensation law may select time-loss compensation exclusively or leave payments in addition to time-loss compensation. Employees who take sick leave, vacation leave or compensatory time during a period in which they receive time-loss compensation will receive full sick leave, vacation leave or compensatory time pay in addition to any time-loss payments. Notwithstanding Section 18.1, of Article 18, Leave Without Pay, the Employer may separate an employee in accordance with Article 31, Reasonable Accommodation and Disability Separation.
Work-related Injury/Disability An employee who receives an Employer Contribution and who is off the State payroll due to a work-related injury or a work-related disability remains eligible for an Employer Contribution as long as such an employee receives workers' compensation payments. If such employee ceases to receive workers' compensation payments for the injury or disability and is granted a medical leave under Article 10, he/she shall be eligible for an Employer contribution during that leave.
Assault Leave Any employee who must be absent from his or her duties due to physical disability resulting from an assault by a student or the parent or legal guardian of a student of this system, while on duty and engaged in school- related activities, 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 fifteen (15) days. Assault shall be defined as intentional physical touching. If permanently disabled, the employee 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 employee 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. If medical attention is required or sought, the employee 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 statements shall be grounds for suspension or termination of employment. Assault Leave, which is approved by the Superintendent, shall not be charged against sick leave earned or earnable by the employee or any other leave to which the employee is entitled. Assault leave shall be immediately paid to the employee by the district at the employee’s current rate of pay and if Worker’s Compensation is applied for and granted, the employee shall reimburse Springfield City School District at the rate paid by Worker’s Compensation after payment is received from Worker’s Compensation. The Board may require an examination by and a certificate from a licensed physician, chosen and paid by the Board that the employee was disabled from performance of any duties which the employee is qualified to perform and the nature and duration of such disability. The employee is encouraged to file appropriate action against the person committing the assault, including criminal charges or civil action or both, in case of any assault or injuries.
Work Related Injury A. An employee shall receive his/her regular day's pay for the date on which he/she was injured, when such injury occurred in the performance of his/her job and when there was no negligence on the part of the employee resulting in his/her injury.
Personal Illness and Injury Leave 1. Full-time employees shall be entitled to ten (10) days leave with full-time pay for each school year for purposes of personal illness or injury. Employees who work less than full-time shall be entitled to that portion of the ten (10) days leave as the number of hours per week of scheduled duty relates to the number of hours for a full-time employee in a comparable position.
Work-Related Injury or Illness In the event of an eligible employee’s absence from work being due to work related injury or work related illness, contributions at the normal rate will continue for the period of the absence provided that:
Employees with a Work-related Injury/Disability An employee who was off the State payroll due to a work-related injury or a work-related disability may continue to participate in the Group Insurance Program as long as such an employee receives workers' compensation payments or while the workers' compensation claim is pending.
WORK-RELATED INJURIES Section 1. An employee who sustains a work-related injury, during the period of this Agreement, as the result of which the employee is disabled, if so determined by a decision issued under the operation of the Workers' Compensation Program, shall be entitled to use accumulated sick, annual, or personal leave or injury leave without pay. While using accumulated leave, the employee will be paid a supplement to workers' compensation of full pay reduced by an amount that yields a net pay, including workers' compensation and social security disability benefits, that is equal to the employee's net pay immediately prior to the injury. Net pay prior to injury is defined as gross base pay minus federal, state, and local withholding, unemployment compensation tax, social security and retirement contributions. One (1) full day of accumulated leave (seven and one half [7 ½] or eight [8] hours as appropriate) will be charged for each day the supplement is paid. Accumulated leave and injury leave without pay may be used for an aggregate of twelve (12) months or for the duration of the disability, whichever is the lesser, except that, if only accumulated leave is used, it may be used beyond twelve (12) months until exhausted or until the disability ceases, whichever occurs sooner. In no case, however, will the aggregate of twelve (12) months extend beyond three (3) years from the date the injury occurred. If no leave is available under this Section, the provisions of Section 13 may apply. For temporary employees, accumulated leave and injury leave without pay shall be available for up to an aggregate of twelve (12) months, for the duration of the disability or for the scheduled duration of the temporary employment, whichever is the least. In no case, however, will the aggregate of twelve (12) months extend beyond three (3) years from the date the injury occurred. The employee election to use or not use accumulated leave under this Section cannot be changed more than once.
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. However, under no circumstances shall the total time granted be greater than twelve (12) months of injury leave, or an actual six (6) months of lost work time because of the injury.
Occupational Injury Leave Occupational injury leave shall be governed by the Rules promulgated on this subject and the Ohio Revised Code 5503 as they exist on March 26, 1989, except as modified in this Article. All employees in the bargaining unit shall be entitled to occupational injury leave.
