ARTICLE 28. SCHOOL-RELATED INJURIES

This provision shall apply provided that the employee acted professionally and with appropriate precautions.

Subd. 1. An employee, who is injured in the course of carrying out duties and responsibilities as an employee of the Board, shall be granted leave without loss of pay for a period not to exceed five (5) days when the injury is a result of an assault. In no case shall the combined benefits paid to the employee from Workers’ Compensation and the use of this leave exceed the employee’s regularly scheduled salary for the period of leave used.

Subd. 2. In the event that injury caused by an assault in the course of carrying out duties and responsibilities as an employee of the Board results in incapacitation for performance of duties for a period longer than that provided in Subd. 1 of this section, the employee may then choose to use his or her accumulated sick leave. In no case shall the combined benefits paid to the employee from Workers’ Compensation and the use of either type of sick leave described herein exceed the employee’s regularly scheduled salary for the period of incapacitation.

Subd. 3. Workers’ Compensation. Additional benefits over and above those received under the Workers’ Compensation Act shall be paid out of the accumulated sick leave of the employee if the employee so elects. In no case shall these additional benefits, together with those received under this Act, total more than the employee’s regular salary, nor shall these additional benefits exceed the amount of accumulated sick leave.
