Louisiana Attorney General Reports September 11, 2000 (Opinion Number)

Dear Mr. Bellard: You raise the following hypothet in your correspondence to this office: A fireman or a police officer took a year of sick leave for a back injury. This injury occurred and the leave was taken five years ago. The injury has reoccurred. Does it matter whether the injury occurred while the individual was on-duty or off-duty? Is that employee entitled to another year of sick leave?
