ments under the Workman's Compensation Law shall, for
the duration of such payment, receive only that portion
of the employee's regular salary which, together with
said payments, will equal the employee's regular salary.
• In order not to work an undue hardship on the employee
caused by the time lag involved in time loss payments,
the employee shall be paid full salary and on receipt
of time loss payments shall endorse such payments to
the City. Said employee shall be charged with sick
leave only for that portion ot the employee's regular
salary for which the City is not reimbursed by the Work-
man's Compensation payments endorsed to the City.

of an employee or employee's spouse. For purposes of
