Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 24, June 14, 2024
Section 599.759 - Supplementation
(a) Employees may choose to supplement their Industrial Disability Leave (IDL) benefits beginning with the 23d working day of disability should their disability last that long.
(b) Within 15 days of notification that an injury or illness has been determined to be work related and workers' compensation benefits are approved, the appointing power shall notify the employee of the option to supplement IDL benefits and provide the employee with the means to choose to supplement their IDL benefits. The employee has 15 calendar days in which to choose to supplement their IDL payments. The 15 calendar day "election period" commences on the day the department informs the employee in writing that they are eligible and provides the means to choose to supplement the IDL benefits. Employees who fail to respond within 15 calendar days after notification shall be placed on IDL without supplementation, and forfeit the right to supplement IDL at any future time.
(c) Employees may elect to decrease the supplementation level on a prospective basis. The effective date of any change will be the first day of the following pay period.
(d) Leave credits needed for supplementation are drawn in the following order unless the employee requests a different order:
(1) Sick Leave
(2) Compensating Time Off (CTO)
(3) Vacation/Annual Leave
(4) Other leave credits (Personal Leave, Holiday Credit, etc.)

When an employee's leave credits fall below the selected supplementation amount, the supplementation will be reduced to the amount of available leave credits.

(e) Accounts receivables that the State has not already deducted from IDL pay or any other pay for the pay period will be taken from the supplementation pay, if there is a sufficient amount to do so. All established mandatory and voluntary deductions will be withheld from supplementation pay, if not already taken from another payment in the pay period and if there is sufficient gross pay. Partial deductions cannot be taken from supplementation.
