ALLOWANCES TO INJURED DEPUTY SHERIFFS (§ 15.2-1511.01)

A. In addition to the allowances provided in &#xA7; 15.2-1511, any deputy
sheriff who suffers injury as defined in Title 65.2 and whose allowance as
provided in &#xA7; 15.2-1511 is less than 100 percent of his regular
compensation shall be entitled to use any accrued vacation, compensatory, or
sick leave to supplement the allowance so as to receive 100 percent of his
regular compensation. In no case shall a deputy sheriff use such accrued leave
so as to receive more than 100 percent of his regular compensation.

B. The governing body of a locality shall continue to pay the employer&#8217;s
share of the cost of health insurance to the same extent paid for other
employees of the locality covered by the health insurance plan for a deputy
sheriff who participates in the employer-provided health plan who suffers a
compensable injury as defined under Title 65.2 so long as the deputy sheriff
remains employed by the locality.
