§ 60-13 BROOME COUNTY CODE § 60-14
B. After the exhaustion of the deputy's sick leave and vacation time and provided that the
deputy is not receiving or is not eligible to receive benefits pursuant to the Workers'
Compensation Law, the Risk Manager may, in his discretion, direct the payment of an
amount no greater than the deputy's salary or wages pending a determination of
eligibility upon a showing of hardship, if the application, in the opinion of the Risk
Manager, indicates a preliminary likelihood of eligibility. Such payments may continue
until such time as a determination is made by the Risk Manager or until the deputy
receives or is eligible to receive benefits pursuant to the Workers' Compensation Law.
The Risk Manager may, in his discretion, discontinue said payments at any time. If the
Risk Manager directs such payments to be made but there is a determination of
ineligibility and all opportunities for appeal have been exhausted or waived, the moneys
paid to the deputy shall be refunded to the county. The county may commence a civil
action to recover said amounts or make deductions equal to the amount paid the deputy
from the deputy's accumulated vacation time or from future salary and wages.
C. If a determination is made that the deputy is eligible for § 207-c benefits and all
opportunities for appeal of the determination have been exhausted or waived, the deputy
shall be so categorized and shall be credited with any sick leave and/or vacation time
charged during the period for which it is determined that the deputy is entitled to the full
amount of his regular salary or wages pursuant to § 207-c of the General Municipal Law.
Any adjustments in benefits resulting from the reimbursement of vacation time or sick
leave shall be made. Additionally, upon such a determination of eligibility, the deputy
shall be reimbursed retroactively for all periods of disability less any discretionary
advances allowed by the Risk Manager, any disability payments received pursuant to the
Workers' Compensation Law and any payments received by the deputy and originally
charged to vacation time or sick leave. Such benefits shall continue so long as the deputy
remains eligibly disabled or until otherwise terminated pursuant to law.
§ 60-14. Treatment or examinations by county-assigned physicians.
A. After a determination has been made that an injury or sickness of a deputy was incurred
in the performance of his duties, the Risk Manager may require the deputy to be attended
by county health authorities or by any physician appointed by the Risk Manager for the
purpose of providing medical, surgical or other health-related treatment.
B. At any time during the pendency of a claim, the Risk Manager may require the deputy to
be examined and inspected by county health authorities or by any physician appointed by
the Risk Manager.
C. The deputy so treated or examined shall be entitled to copies of all medical reports
submitted by the county health authorities or physicians appointed by the Risk Manager
regarding said treatment or examination.
D. If the deputy shall refuse to accept medical treatment or hospital care or shall refuse to
permit medical examinations as herein authorized, the deputy shall be deemed to have
waived his rights to § 207-c benefits and the Risk Manager shall immediately discontinue
said § 207-c benefits for the deputy. Upon such a discontinuation of benefits, the Risk
Manager shall forthwith serve a notice thereof to the deputy and inform the deputy that,
