Common use of Employee Safeguards Clause in Contracts

Employee Safeguards. Confidentiality of files under this Section shall be maintained. The City will receive from the medical evaluation only a report that the employee was fit or unfit for duty. Details of the medical examination shall be submitted to the employee, not the City, except that if the employee is determined unfit for duty, the City shall be supplied with that medical information which the physician believes is appropriate in order to evaluate the employee’s medical suitability for continued work and/or rehabilitation. If the City receives an unfit for duty medical report, the City will, consistent with the medical evaluation, take into account such factors as medical evaluation from the employee’s own physician, referral to a third independent physician, education, training, re- evaluation, medical leave, referral to light duty and/or employee rehabilitation. The City will take every medical step reasonably appropriate under the circumstances to enable an employee to return to duty and, consequently, a decision to terminate an employee’s employment for unfitness for duty shall only be made as a last resort.
