306 Sick leave may be used when employer not liable for first week compensation (1) If an employee suffers a personal injury that is not a work related personal injury and is not a motor vehicle injury described in section 29(2) , and the employee is incapacitated, the employee may elect to take any unused sick leave entitlement that the employee may have under subpart 4 of Part 2 of the Holidays Act 2003 and use it in respect of an equivalent part of the first week of incapacity. (2) This section applies to avoid doubt. Section 306 was substituted, as from 1 April 2004, by section 91(2) Holidays Act 2003 (2003 No 129).
