A. Departmental Responsibility: Each department shall track the injury leave benefit for its employees and shall advise the City's Risk Manager when the per injury benefit has reached three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500.00). Upon receipt of such notice, the Risk Manager shall notify the injured worker of the estimated date upon which the maximum benefit will be reached. The injured employee will then be asked to elect an available alternate leave benefit or combination of available leave benefits to supplement the temporary total disability benefit after the injury leave benefit has been exhausted.
B. Request For Increase: If appropriate under the applicable Memorandum of Understanding or Compensation Plan, the employee may also request that the benefit limit be increased by written application to their department head. (2019 Compilation)
