(a) Worker's Compensation Offset. Any employee who is absent as the result of a service-connected illness or injury and who receives compensation under the Worker's Compensation laws of the State, shall receive only that portion of his or her regular salary which, together with the payments received by such employee under the provisions of the Worker's Compensation law, will equal his or her regular salary at the time the injury was sustained. Such payments shall continue during the time such employee is receiving payments under the provisions of the Worker's Compensation Act, but in no event for more than six months from the date of the injury. Thereafter, any employee unable to return to work may, at his or her option, use his or her accumulated sick leave and vacation leave.
(b) Proof of Claim. Before any payment is made pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, the applicant shall furnish and periodically thereafter provide, to the Mayor, satisfactory proof of the amount received by him or her under the Worker's Compensation Act of the State.
