Common use of Employment of Disabled Workers Clause in Contracts

Employment of Disabled Workers. Suitable, sustainable modified work will be offered to disabled employees where possible according to the following process: (a) If it is physically or technically impossible or financially prohibitive or not in the best interest of the employee to modify the employee's job, the Company shall offer the employee an alternate job or modified alternate job where possible. (b) If reduced hours of work are in the best interest of the employee, the employer shall accommodate the reduced hours of work modification with a return to work agreement with the employee. Wage replacement benefits for the time not worked may be paid by workers' compensation or by the insurance carrier but in no case shall the employee receive less income than the applicable benefit level. (c) If a modified job classification is in the best interests of the employee, the Company shall accommodate the change to the job classification with a return to work agreement with the employee. (d) The seniority provisions of the collective agreement such as the job posting procedure shall only be set aside to accommodate disabled employees if the Union agrees. The layoff and recall provisions of the collective agreement, however, shall apply in the same manner as if the person had not been disabled. (e) If the following language does not reflect case law and/or the Canadian Human Rights Code, the parties shall reconvene together to resolve outstanding issues.
