(a) When an employee has a service connected illness or injury while actually working for the employer, he shall be eligible for a paid leave not to exceed thirty working days from injury date, providing he files for Workers’ Compensation and signs a waiver assigning to the employer those sums of money he would ordinarily receive as his weekly compensation as determined by law for those number of weeks he receives benefits under this section. The employee shall then utilize his sick leave, vacation, etc. until he returns to full duty. Sick leave, etc. will be fully reimbursed, if any Workers’ Compensation is received for such days, by the employer. All injuries must be reported on the shift of occurrence, or within one calendar week, to be eligible for payments under this section.
