Dispute Resolution Agreement. It is projected that the DRA will reduces the time it takes to resolve medical disputes from 200 to 75 days. The Fire Department, Local 1014 and CEO staff believes that developing a expedited dispute resolution process will improve the delivery of workers’ compensation medical care and allow the full implementation of an ERTW process. An ERTW process is based upon the premise that organizational effectiveness is improved by transitioning absent unproductive employees to present productive employees. A well managed focus on expanding the number of safe and productive temporary limited duty assignments will ultimately benefit the department by providing scarce resources to meet established mandates and reduce time-loss benefit expenses (Attachment A). It will also assist injured employees to regain functionality, maintain productivity, and improve their quality of life. The DRA as well as the ERTW process applies to all employees represented by Los Angeles County Firefighters Local 1014.
