Employees not covered by Worker’s Compensation will receive their normal salary. The following conditions, however apply:

Qualifications for Disability Leave
The disability resulted from the employee performing his/her job, as provided in the State’s Worker’s Compensation Act.

A physician will determine the seriousness of the disability and establish a reasonable date for the employee to return to work.

Amount of Time for Disability Leave
Employees will be eligible for disability after they have exhausted their accrued sick days.
