Utah Admin. Code R477-7-18 - Disabled Law Enforcement Officer Amendments
(1)
When a law enforcement officer or state correctional officer, as defined in Section
63A-17-512, is injured in the course of employment, as defined in Section
63A-17-512, management shall approve a leave of absence with 100% of the officer's
regular monthly salary and benefits:
(a) during
the period the employee has a temporary disability; or
(b) in the case of a total disability, until the
employee is eligible for an unreduced retirement under Title 49, Utah State
Retirement and Insurance Benefit Act or reaches the retirement age of 62 years,
whichever occurs first.
(2)
The eligible employee shall disclose to management any time-loss benefit amounts
received by, or payable to, the employee, from outside sources, as soon as the
employee is made aware. These amounts do not include benefits received from sources
in which the employee pays the full premium.
(3) Management shall apply Section
R477-7-16,
workers compensation leave, and Section
R477-7-17,
long term disability leave rules first. Management then adds any benefit amounts
received under Subsection (2). If the total of these benefits is less than 100% of
the employee's monthly salary and benefits, management shall make arrangements
through payroll to pay the employee the difference.
(4) DHRM shall work with the Division of Risk
Management, Workers' Compensation, and the Public Employee's Health Program on a
periodic and case-by-case basis to assure that eligible employees receive full
benefits. If at any time it is discovered that the employee is receiving less than
100% of their regular monthly salary and benefits, management shall make up the
difference to the employee.
(5) If an
employee discloses other time-loss benefits received under Subsection (2) after
these additional payments by the agency have been made, the employee shall reimburse
the agency for salary and benefits paid in overage.
