The Board then presented Findings concerning the timeliness and grievability of seven grievances filed by Officer Gerri Clark of Safety The Board voted that Grievances 1, 2, and 7 were timely and grievable. The grievances considered by the Board included #1 which stated that Officer Clark's leave should be considered work-related and therefore should have been submitted for Workers Compensation consideration, #2 which dealt with the way Temporary Disability is computed and #7 which asked for half of her Temporary Disability to be restored on the first of January, 1994. Evidence was presented to support Officer Clark's contention that her stress was completely job related. She was examined by EAP Psychologist Ann Samson, Dr. Anderson and Dr. Entin each of whom concluded that medication would be required for treatment of the stress Officer Clark was undergoing. She returned to work for about three weeks in August or September, but was unable to continue. She felt harassed by supervisors and fellow employees, and believed her Temporary Disability was computed less generously than it has been for other officers. She stated she is not required to file Workers' Compensation papers, nor to release records. She did not see a medical doctor in response to Dr. Entin's recommendation, but did keep in touch with Ann Samson.
