A. Employees injured on the job are entitled to compensation and benefits in accordance with the Alaska Workers Compensation Act. An employee shall make a complete report of the injury to the Alaska Department of Labor through the personnel office. The employee shall cooperate with the personnel office to prepare and submit all forms and information related to the employee that the personnel office or the city’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier may request.

B. Employees may not use annual leave while on injury leave.

C. In the event that an employee is unable to return to work, they will be eligible for benefits provided for in the city’s long-term disability program, if any. While participating in such program, the employee shall not accrue sick and/or annual leave benefits. The employee may, however, participate in the city’s group insurance programs provided they meet the responsibilities under the COBRA Act and the city’s insurance program.
