Injured or Disabled Employees - Light Duty Sample Clauses

Injured or Disabled Employees - Light Duty. The Employer and Union agree that light duty is mutually beneficial. The goal is to assist injured employees to recover and return to their regular work duties; the goal is to keep trained employees on the job. Keeping an injured employee connected to the workplace during recovery provides a positive impact to the employee and employer. Whenever an employee suffers an injury or disability results in the employee's inability, in excess of five (5) shifts, to perform all the duties of their position, the employer may, if such employee is capable of performing the work of any other position or any, including their own, position modified to accommodate medical restrictions, within the existing work structure of the fire department, assign or transfer the employee to such other position as the employer determines would result in the most effective use of the employee. The employee may remain on their regular scheduled work shift for the first five (5) shifts of light duty. Upon completion of the fifth (5th) light duty shift, the employee will be assigned or transferred as allowed by this article. The employer will determine the working hours of light duty employees based on their medical restrictions and department needs. The employee shall receive total monthly compensation at their current monthly salary. Assignment or transfers under this paragraph shall expire at such time as the employee is able to perform the regular duties of the position held before injury or disability, but the employer may terminate the assignment earlier and allow the employee to receive sick leave, up to the maximum allowed in this contract, or disability benefits that are available. Employees shall be allowed to substitute unused compensatory time, vacation time, or personal leave days in lieu of light duty.
