(a)Except as provided in Article 4 (commencing with Section 19869), a state officer or employee who is or may be entitled to temporary disability indemnity under Division 4 (commencing with Section 3200) or Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 6100) of the Labor Code shall receive any accumulated sick leave, or accumulated compensable overtime, or accumulated vacation, or accumulated annual leave for the absence. The appointing power shall decrease the charge of sick leave, or compensable overtime, or vacation, or annual leave in the amount of temporary disability payment received so that the state officer or employee shall not receive payment in excess of full salary or wage.
If a state officer or employee does not wish to use his or her accumulated sick leave, or accumulated compensable overtime, or accumulated vacation, or accumulated annual leave, he or she shall notify his or her appointing power within 15 days after the injury is reported to the appointing power. After the 15 days his or her accumulations shall be used until the date he or she notifies the appointing power in writing that he or she no longer wishes to use the accumulations. When computing sick leave, or overtime, or vacation, or annual leave under this section the employee shall be given credit for any holidays that occur during the period of absence hereunder.
He or she is nevertheless entitled to medical, surgical, and hospital treatment as provided in the Labor Code. When his or her accumulated sick leave, or overtime, or vacation, or annual leave, or all, are exhausted, he or she is still entitled to receive disability indemnity.
(b)State officers and employees who are covered by Article 4 (commencing with Section 19869) shall be entitled to industrial and temporary disability benefits only as provided by that article.
(c)If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Section 3517.5, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling without further legislative action, except that if the provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
