A. Whenever employees of the Department of Corrections are injured in the line of duty and have used all their sick leave, the Director of the Department of Corrections shall determine if the injured employee was actually injured in the line of duty and whether the injured employee should be granted additional sick leave because of the injury. The Director may advance the injured employee not more than an additional forty-five (45) days' sick leave when necessary. Such sick leave advanced shall be accumulated back to the Department from the employee at the rate of five (5) days per year until the advanced number of days are repaid.
B. Such additional sick leave benefit shall be available to an employee, shall not be cumulative and shall be available for each separate injury incident.
