Alternate Duty Assignments. An employee’s return from a workers’ compensation leave or a disability leave is contingent upon the employee being able to fully perform the duties of a police officer. The Employer may in its discretion assign an employee on a workers’ compensation leave or a disability leave to perform an alternate duty assignment within their residual capacities. An employee is not required to exhaust their sick leave or other paid leave benefits to be considered for alternate duty. The Employer’s judgment concerning the appropriateness or length of such an alternate duty assignment is not subject to challenge or review through the grievance or arbitration procedure. During the period of an alternative duty assignment an employee will be paid at their regular rate of pay and be eligible for all benefits and insurance coverage available to employees not on a workers compensation or disability leave.
