LIGHT DUTY POLICY. The County will endeavor to bring employees with temporary work-related injuries or illnesses back on the job as soon as possible The County may recognize a special obligation arising out of the employment relationship and create a temporary light duty position for an employee when s/he has been injured while performing work for the Department and, as a consequence, is unable to perform his/her regular job duties. The County will not treat an employee with a disability less favorably than an individual without a disability or screen out an individual on the basis of disability in granting such requests for light duty. The County will grant such request, at its sole discretion, and on a case-by case basis in consideration of the medical report submitted by the workers compensation physician, the recommendation of the insuring entity and Departmental staffing needs and requirements. The County reserves the right to grant, refuse or terminate a light duty assignment at any time without cause unless it is in conflict with the mandates of the ADA, FMLA or NJFLA or other state or federal leave laws where applicable. The employee and/or the Third Party Administrator (hereafter “TPA”) are obligated to inform the County of the employee’s medical progress and the County shall have the right to review same periodically.

If light duty is approved, the employee or TPA must keep the County Administrator, Director of Personnel and Department Head informed of the medical progress. If at the end of light duty period the employee is not able to return to work without restrictions the employee should contact the Department of Personnel to discuss his or her options under state or federal law. This policy does not affect an employee’s rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Contagious or Life Threatening Illnesses Policy or other Federal or State law.
