Light Duties. Employees who qualify for short term disability and who are capable of returning to work, subject to medical concurrence, may participate in light duty work for the Employer.

The Employer shall bear the cost of such certificates.

Light Duties. In situations where an employee can only return to work on light duties, the Company has designated various "light duties" categories, which have different levels of physical requirements. These are listed and described in “Appendix A” along with examples of typical light duty jobs, which could be made available to the employee. These descriptions are available for a physician to review in order to be able to adequately assess whether or not an employee can perform one or more of them in keeping with the employee’s physical restrictions. Typically, an employee will be on light duties until they receive medical clearance to return to their pre-accident/illness position. The Company will make every effort to return the employee to the workplace as soon as is medically appropriate.
Light Duties. Employees in receipt of Workers’ Compensation, Disability Benefits or who are unable to perform their regular duties as a result of injury or illness, may be offered light duties, which duties will not be unreasonably refused. Such duties may be approved by the Employee’s doctor. The nature of the duties will be designed bearing in mind the Employee’s physical capabilities, his present skills and abilities. This may also require a functional assessment. The Company agrees that the light duties performed by the Employee will not affect his seniority nor result in the demotion of any other Employee. Either the Company or the Union may recommend candidates for light duties and the nature of the work to be offered. The Company may request a professional’s medical opinion relating to the Employee’s fitness to work or to return to work from a qualified medical doctor or other specialist. This will be at the Company’s expense. Accommodation: The Parties agree to discuss and implement accommodations for an Employee who is experiencing physical or mental disability up to the point of undue hardship.
Light Duties. If the Employee is not able to perform the full duties of a position in which light duties are afforded, the Employer shall, in consultation with the Union, develop an appropriate job class and corresponding rate of pay to be applied to the light duties performed. This shall be subject to the availability of light duties and the right of the Employer to designate the rate of pay applicable to the work available. If the Union and the Employer cannot agree upon the rate of pay, that matter shall constitute a difference between the Employer and the Union and shall be subject to Article 11 and Article 12.
Light Duties. On the advice of a qualified medical doctor, employees in receipt of Worker's Compensation, Long Term Disability Benefits or employees who are unable to perform their regular duties as a result of injury or illness, may be offered Light Duty employment, provided the Company can offer meaningful employment.

Either the Company or the Union may recommend candidates for Light Duty placement, and the nature of the work to be offered, but the Company shall have the right to place such employees who have agreed to Light Duty placements and to promote and demote such individuals and direct their efforts from time to time, free from any limitations provided for in Article 8 of this Agreement provided, however, that the employment of any such individual shall not affect the seniority nor result in the demotion of any other employee.
