The Shared Leave Program
is established as a means to transfer vacation and sick leave to a
qualifying employee experiencing (either personally or by a family
member) a serious, extreme or life-threatening illness, injury,
impairment or physical or mental condition which has caused, or is
likely to cause, the employee to take leave without pay or terminate
employment.
K.A.R. 1-9-23 sets
out eligibility requirements and exceptions to coverage. One of the
exceptions to coverage is in K.A.R. 1-9-23(c)(2)(C), which states:
"Any employee who is receiving workers compensation shall not be
eligible to receive shared leave."
The Shared Leave
Program is not intended to cover employees who are covered under the
Workers Compensation Act, as that Act already provides remedies for
the injured employee. |
