Employees absent from work due to an industrial injury receive temporary disability benefits. The Salary Continuation Election form was created to document the employee’s election or rejection of using available leave to supplement disability payments, restoring them to their full salary. It is recommended that every employee on leave for an industrial injury complete the form. It is further recommended that the salary continuation option and procedures be documented in the member’s personnel and/or payroll policies. The adopted version of this form should be signed by the City Attorney and the original retained in file.
