26.02 In the event that a full time employee of the bargaining unit should become ill due to contact with AIDS, HIV, Hepatitis, Tuberculosis or Meningitis and such illness has so incapacitated the employee that he temporarily is unable to work, the Police Chief shall investigate and determine whether the illness is work related. The Police Chief shall then forward his finding to the Safety Director who shall determine the nature and extent of the illness and how contracted, including circumstances thereof. If after consideration of the totality of the facts the Safety Director determines that said disease was contracted during employment and may require medical leave, the Safety Director shall authorize the full payment of the employee's regular salary for a period of ninety (90) days. 26.03 If after ninety (90) days an illness still incapacitates the employee, the Safety Director shall recommend to Council whether to continue their salary for a successive ninety (90) day period or parts thereof. Council shall forthwith review the matter and by a majority vote determine whether the employee shall continue to receive full salary during recuperation. Any bargaining unit member who qualifies for benefits under this section shall be required to pay over to the Employer any amount received from the Bureau of Workers' Compensation as supplemental wages. Further, if at any time, the Employer determines on the basis of medical evidence that the employee is permanently disabled and will no longer be able to carry on his duties, then the Employer may terminate payments and insist that the employee go on a pension program. Any employee that qualifies for the benefits under this Section shall not have his accumulated sick time reduced because of a qualified illness which occurred while in the line of duty. 26.04 In the event that an employee has been injured or exposed to a toxic substance or to an infectious disease in the course or scope of his employment and is sent to the hospital for testing, treatment and/or preventative measures, and Workers' Compensation subsequently determines that there is no injury sustained, all bills pertaining to the employee's testing, treatment and/or preventative measures shall be the responsibility of the City of North Olmsted.
