Employees who suffer disability arising out of and in the course of their employment will receive compensation as determined by the University Committee on Accident Compensation for Employees in accordance with the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act. B. Such employees may elect to use portions of allowances for disability provided under sub-section 2 hereof to supplement payments made under the Workmen's Compensation Act, provided that in no case during a period of disability shall total payments exceed the full compensation paid the individual at the time the disability occurred. C. An employee entitled to disability benefits under the University Retirement System of Illinois may receive from that System only the difference between the benefits available from the Retirement System and the amount paid in accordance with the Workmen's Compensation Act. 2 . Disability from any cause not arising out of and in the course of employment: A. Each full-time permanent and continuous employee is entitled to a disability leave of two work weeks with pay in each year of service, no part of which shall be cumulative.

Any permanent and continuous employee or any person who is employed in a position or in work which the University contemplates continuing for at least six months, but who has not yet completed six months service in any classification or classifications of nonacademic employment, who is disabled before completing his first year of service will be allowed the same proportionate amount of the two work weeks disability leave as the portion of the year completed. B. In addition to the leave provided in the preceding paragraph, each full-time, permanent and continuous employee who has served for one full year is entitled to an extended disability leave of one work week for each year of service, cumulative to a total of ten work weeks, which shall be allowed to reacccumulate to this maximum through additional sendee after being used in part or in full. No reduction shall be made in accumulations for prior service earned before March 1, 1944. Each permanent and continuous employee employed regularly on a part-time basis is entitled to such fraction of one work week with pay as is represented by the relationship between this part-time employment and the full-time schedules in his classification. C. Disability benefits available to employees shall be used in the following order: (a) the two work weeks disability leave, (b) vacation to which entitled when requested by the employee, (c) extended disability leave, as provided in the preceding paragraph.
