ALTERNATIVE DUTY. If an employee is off work due to an on-the-job or off the job injury or illness, the City will offer alternative duty if it’s available and if it has been approved by the employee’s physician. Employees will be expected to fulfill the number of hours per week cleared by the physician. Any additional time off will be subject to the rules that govern elective time off. When approved by the employee’s physician, all light duty assignments will be on a 40 hour/week schedule. This schedule will go into effect two (2) weeks from the date of injury. Any additional time off will be subject to the rules that govern elective time off. During the employee’s light duty shift, the employee will be under the direct supervision of the respective Captain and Battalion Chief. The employee will participate in shift activities and facilitate operations not barred by the terms of their medical release. Examples of alternative duty may include fire prevention, training, administration and public education in addition to basic office duties.
