Occupational Injury Scheme for Registered Teachers employed in Recognised Primary and Post Primary Schools

Under the Occupational Injury Leave Scheme, leave with pay may be granted by the employer, to a teacher who has been certified as medically unfit for work due to a physical injury sustained as a result of an accident in the actual discharge of their duties, including approved school activities; which was not due to negligence on the part of the teacher, and by some injury solely attributable to the nature of their duty which has been established by the employer as an Occupational Injury.
