PRESENT WORDING
C. Because there may be a delay, while the
insurance company is determining if
the injury is compensable, the
employee shall receive full salary
payment from the County, until the
first Workmen's Compensation check is
sent. If the injury is later deteimin-
ed non-cbmpensable, this time will be
deducted from first the employee's
Sick Leave accumulation, and if it.
is exhausted, from his Annual Leave
accumulation.

County that the employee received
a payment from the insurance company,
this amount will be deducted from his
• next County paycheck, even though
the time covered by the insurance
" check is different from the time
covered by the County paycheck.
This is continued until any over-
payment is made up and may result
in the employee receiving only
partial pay from the County for a
title after he returns to work
following a compensable injury.
