(a) An employee injured while performing assigned duties shall be entitled to
the provisions of
the worker's compensation act.
(b) An employee injured on the job who draws pay in accordance
with the worker's
compensation act shall have related absence charged against appropriate accrued paid
leave
(vacation, sick, floating holidays, etc.) on a prorated basis to offset the difference in pay
between
the worker's compensation payment and regular city pay. (See on-the-job injury
procedures in the
administrative rules.)
(c) No employee on occupational injury leave shall receive
a combination of worker's
compensation and leave pay paid leave in excess of regular full pay.
(d) Length of authorized occupational injury leave shall be determined on an
individual case
basis by the department head and the director, in consideration of staffing needs of the
department, extent and degree of impairment, employee's eligibility for disability retirement and
similar factors.
(e) Individuals may be eligible for leave of absence without pay provisions
upon the
recommendation of the department head upon expiration of accrued paid leaves.

section 19-130(p) for police injury leave provisions.)
