No paid leave shall be deducted from the member's accrued paid leave as a result of his/her absence.

This does not affect any permanent Workers Compensation award/benefit. In the event there is an initial dispute about the eligibility for temporary Workers Compensation benefits the member shall receive injury on duty payments set forth above until there is a determination that such absence is not eligible for Workers Compensation benefits at which time injury on duty benefits will prospectively cease and shall not be reinstated unless the determination is later revised; and, if such determination is reversed reimbursement to the member shall be retroactive to date of initial rescission, unless otherwise stated.” ARTICLE XI — SICK LEAVE (pg. 13).
