Assignment to Transitional Duty. An employee who is unable to perform the regular duties of his/her position because of a compensable injury may be assigned by the County to other work which he/she is qualified and physically able to perform, whether such work is or is not of a type normally performed by employees in the bargaining unit. The County may assign an employee to job modification or transitional duty if the County determines this to be in the best interest of the County and the employee. The positions are temporary, not lasting more than 120 working days. Employment in transitional duty shall not cause a reduction in the employee’s normal level of compensation or benefits. The employee will receive his or her regular compensation and benefits while working in a modified or transitional duty assignment. The County reserves the right to discontinue or change any such assignment at any time.
