If you suffer an injury or illness in the line of duty that is covered by workers' compensation, you are entitled to 90 work days of paid injury leave. These benefits replace the more limited coverage of workers' compensation insurance, which you waive during your 90-day injury leave.

If you're unable to return to work after that time, you are eligible to take accrued vacation and sick leave in addition to workers' compensation.
