DURATION OF ASSIGNMENT. An employee who meets the eligibility requirements in this policy will be assigned to the next available Transitional Work assignment and will be permitted to work up to ninety (90) days in that assignment. If at the end of the ninety (90) day period, the employee has not been released to Regular Work, the employee will no longer be eligible for Transitional Work unless further medical evidence is presented that permits the City to believe that, with reasonable further periods of Transitional Work, the employee will probably be able to return to Regular Work. If such evidence is provided, the City may offer additional periods of Transitional Work for up to three years from the initial date of injury. If, during the course of the Transitional Work, it becomes evident to the City that the injured worker probably will not be able to return to Regular Work within three (3) years of the date of injury, the Transitional Work may be terminated. Such employees retain any rights they may have under M.R.S.A. Sec. 217 with regard to employment rehabilitation.
