A leave of absence without pay necessary for medical reasons caused by an on-the-job injury covered by the County's Workers' Compensation program shall not result in the discontinuance of benefits (accrual of sick leave, vacation, furlough, or holidays) for up to a maximum of 26 pay cycles per covered injury, unless the employee is in a non-pay status for more than 30 percent of any pay cycle or, in the case of payment of insurance premiums, as may otherwise be provided by the plan administrator. The County will pay its share of the premium cost of health insurance provided by the County (Chapter 3.56 PCC) provided the employee continues to pay their share for a period not to exceed 12 months. Time-loss payments under the County's Workers' Compensation program beyond 26 pay cycles per covered injury are considered to be nonpay status. Employees shall retain their anniversary date during a leave of absence without pay caused by an on-the-job injury and shall receive step increases which would have automatically been granted them, but employees shall not automatically receive step increases reserved as merit increases. Leaves of absence without pay due to on-the-job injury are subject to the limitations of Section 3.80.020 of the Administrative Guidelines.
