Payment to an employee for work-related accident leave taken under this subtitle shall be based on two-thirds of the employee's regular pay. Payment for work-related accident leave taken under this subtitle constitutes a separate benefit on account of accidental disability and is not a continuation of salary. Notwithstanding the reduced rate that an employee is paid while using work-related accident leave, the employee: continues seniority and leave accruals based on the employee's regular pay; and does not lose health care benefits with the subsidy allowed in Title 2, Subtitle 6 of this article solely because of use of the work-related accident leave. An employee may not receive temporary total disability benefits under the Maryland Workers' Compensation Act while the employee is receiving payment under this subtitle.
