Employer Reimbursed for Personal Leave Credits Used During Employee’s Disabilty

The Third Department determined that the employer should be reimbursed for the personal leave credits used by an employee during the period of disability.  The employee’s receiving full wages plus the leave time pay justified the reimbursement:

The circumstances presented here are distinguishable from Matter of Poupard v Mohonasen Cent. School Dist. (56 NY2d 764, 765 [1982]) and Matter of Jefferson v Bronx Psychiatric Ctr. (55 NY2d at 71), the cases relied on by the Board.  There, the employees charged time during disability to their accrued sick leave credits and, pursuant to their respective collective bargaining agreements, such used sick leave credits could not be restored.  Because the employees could later convert their accrued sick leave credits into retirement service credits, the loss of those credits resulted in a permanent benefit to the employers.  …

…[H]ere, the denial of reimbursement for payments related to personal leave credits would result in claimant receiving both full wages and compensation benefits for the time in question.  Such a result is disfavored and requires that reimbursement be granted to the employer… .
