(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the law to the contrary, a state officer or employee who is entitled to temporary disability indemnity or vocational rehabilitation maintenance allowance under Division 4 (commencing with Section 3200) or Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 6100) of the Labor Code as a result of an industrial accident or injury shall earn sick leave and vacation leave or annual leave as though the employee was working. The state officer or employee who is receiving temporary disability or vocational rehabilitation maintenance allowance shall be permitted to supplement the payments with any form of leave credits. Supplementation of leave credits combined with vocational rehabilitation maintenance allowance shall not exceed the employee’s full pay less mandatory withholdings.
(b) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Section 3517.5, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling without further legislative action, except that if the provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
(Amended by Stats. 1999, Ch. 457, Sec. 9. Effective September 21, 1999.)
