Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system, which generally requires employers to secure the payment of workers' compensation for injuries incurred by their employees that arise out of and in the course of their employment.
Existing law entitles, among others, local law enforcement, firefighters, and probation officers employed on a regular full-time basis to a leave of absence without loss of salary while disabled by injury or illness arising out of and in the course of their duties. Existing law provides that a leave of absence under those provisions is in lieu of temporary disability payments or maintenance allowance payments otherwise payable under the workers' compensation system.
This bill would expand these provisions to entitle a park ranger employed on a regular full-time basis by a county or special district to this leave of absence.
