Common use of LIGHT DUTY ASSIGNMENTS Clause in Contracts

LIGHT DUTY ASSIGNMENTS. If, upon determination of an employee’s physical restrictions by the employee’s medical doctor, and/or by a City-designated medical doctor at the City’s request, the employee is determined to be physically able to perform duties of another nature, the employee may be assigned to those duties for the duration of the disability at the sole discretion of the City. Any employee reassigned to duties of another nature shall be compensated at a rate of pay determined by the City commensurate with the temporary assigned duties, not to exceed the employee’s rate of pay as of the date of injury. If the rate of pay for the light duty assignment is less than the employee’s rate of pay as of the date of injury, the pay may be supplemented with workers’ compensation payments as specified by South Dakota Workers’ Compensation law. This reassignment may continue for a period determined by the City not to exceed six months after reassignment to other duties. Upon the employee’s return to his full unrestricted duties held at the time of injury, the employee shall be paid at his current rate of pay including step advancements or pay rate adjustments he would have otherwise received during the absence from his regular duties. If light duty within those restrictions is not available with the City, the employee or officer may be permitted to engage in outside employment within the work restrictions set by the physician due to the duty-incurred injury or illness.
